About me

Hello, and welcome! I’m a professional artist, designer, and creative entrepreneur with a passion for helping others find their voice through art. After a fulfilling career in web design and creative services, I’m now seeking to bring my experience into the classroom—where I can inspire the next generation of young artists to explore their creativity with confidence and purpose.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design from Missouri State University ('98). Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of artistic disciplines including graphic and web design and illustration. 

​

As I transition into teaching, my goal is to nurture students as they discover their artistic style and connect their creativity to real-world opportunities. I believe in building an engaging, supportive classroom environment where young artists feel encouraged to experiment, ask questions, and grow.

​​

It would be an honor to have the opportunity to bring my experience, passion, and love of the arts into the classroom and help students thrive—both artistically and personally.
