My Story


Faith, family, photography, and nature are at the core of who I am. I was born and raised in Ignacio, Colorado, and am proud to be a seventh-generation member of my family in this beautiful region. My roots run deep here, and the landscape, community, and culture continually inspire my work.

I’m grateful to share life with a supportive husband and our two young daughters, who are the heart of my world. As a passionate and driven artist, I find great joy in creating and exploring new ideas. For me, art has always been a powerful way to express myself and make sense of the world around me—it’s both personal and deeply meaningful.

My Special Interests


I’m deeply passionate about creative expression and meaningful connection—both with people and the world around me. Photography and art have long been my creative outlets, allowing me to capture fleeting moments and explore beauty in everyday life. I find inspiration in nature, whether hiking through the woods with my daughters and our huskies or simply observing the quiet changes of the seasons.

Being a mother is at the heart of who I am; parenting has shaped how I see the world—with curiosity, patience, and joy. I also love discovering unique treasures through thrifting, reading to unwind and learn, and sharing adventures with my family. These interests fuel my creativity, strengthen my empathy, and continually enrich both my personal and professional life.
