My love for art began in the deep quiet of Northwest Montana. Raised in a home without electricity, I spent my childhood immersed in forests, streams, and mountains. That early intimacy with the natural world shaped my way of seeing and became the root of my creative life.

​

I earned my degree in Graphic Design from Montana State University and set out on a path that wove together painting, design, and creative production. After moving to Seattle in 2009, new possibilities opened. I became a producer for the Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival and later the curator for Gallery AXIS in Pioneer Square—roles that deepened my love for building immersive, collaborative environments for artists and performers.

​

From 2022 to 2025, I co-owned Synapse Gallery, a thriving studio and event space in downtown Bellingham, Washington. It became a hub for creative connection, community, and the evolution of my work.

​

In the fall of 2025, I returned to the forests of Montana to build an art studio on my family’s land. Here, I’m beginning a new body of work inspired by this landscape and the journeys that have shaped me over the years. I also continue to offer my graphic design branding services through Golden Hour Design Co. 

​

Painting is my practice of stillness. It’s where breath meets brushstroke—where color becomes therapy, reflection, and self-discovery. My work often unfolds in small series, each one echoing the season of life I’m moving through. I honor my path as a full-time artist, and I offer commissions for those who feel connected to my work.
