“Where My Heart Lives”
Oil on Canvas
30” x 40”

This painting is a reflection of my love for the country I call home. The flowing folds of the American flag symbolize the resilience, opportunity, and freedom that have shaped countless lives, including my own.

Where My Heart Lives is a tribute to the enduring spirit of America—a place of hope, possibility, and belonging. It celebrates not just a nation, but the connection we feel to the ideals and values that unite us.

"Ribbons on the Blue"
Mixed Media
30"x 40"
This oil painting with hand-stitched thread brings together my love of vivid color, water’s calming presence, and luxurious texture. The boats are built with a palette knife, layered in ribbon-like strokes that give the hulls energy and structure. In contrast, the water and reflections are painted with a smoother finish, creating a sense of depth and quiet movement.

"The Company I Keep"
30" x 40"
oil on canvas

Self-portrait with my daughters, painted from the inside out. It holds the warmth of our everyday—those in-between moments where they climbed into my space, my lap, my heart—bringing their own brand of mayhem and love with them. The warm and dark colors echo their giggles that overshadow the noise and small rebellions that filled our days. It’s a snapshot of who we were in this fleeting moment in time—far from perfect, gloriously alive, and bound together by a love that makes every bit of their mischief feel like home.

"Santorini"
40" by "40" Oil on Canvas
First Place Winner of Juried Competition


I had my fascination of the beautiful Santorini on the brain when I composed this image. This artwork's goal was to capture the essence of Mediterranean elegance through a sumptuous interplay of pattern, texture, and light. Rich earth tones blend harmoniously with sea-inspired turquoise and ivory, evoking the sunlit architecture and tranquil waters of the Greek isles. The fluid drapery, adorned with intricate geometric motifs, creates a rhythm of folds and shadows that feels both luxurious and intimate. A beaded tassel necklace rests softly across the fabric, adding a touch of tactile realism and serenity. Through layered color, the image transforms textile and ornament into a celebration of movement, memory, and refined beauty.
