My desire is to bring artistry and words together.  Hoping their essence dances on the pages -  in harmony and beauty.

​
Art dances on the canvas with its stick leg brushes; serenaded by the palette of color and endless possibilities.


In the garden You speak to me. My soul responds, "Let the words flow like bubbling brooks and rivers free. Teach me and I will dance as the butterflies, laugh like the breeze - unconfined and unburdened by meaningless strife." Invited, I let go and melt into this artist's creative life. 
​Ink & Paint 

I am wife, mom, friend, writer, artist, mentor, and follower/lover of God. I enjoy reading, movies, kayaking, laser tag, or walks on the beach and doing all things fun and spontaneous. I am also pretty contemplative and enjoy quiet times where I can invest in growing personally and spiritually.

Today, my healthy love for myself, God, and the people around me inspires the pieces I create from ink and paint.  He invites me - moment by moment - to be a part, whether I'm teaching a class, writing a book, painting, mentoring, or hanging out with family and friends. 

My favorite activity is hanging out with my wonderful grown-up children and and my husband of thirty years.

I am currently working on my next book, Loving & Hating This Thing Called Church, due out in December 2019.
