About

I’m a coastal landscape artist based in Jacksonville, Florida — a cross between an impressionist and realist painter. You’ll often find me with a paintbrush in hand and sand between my toes, capturing the beauty of ocean views, beachside palm trees, and wide-open skies.

More importantly, I’m a wife, a mom of three, and a proud dog mom. Life is full and beautifully messy — and I paint to slow it down. Painting reminds me (and hopefully you) to pause and soak in the beauty God placed all around us.

As a seascape painter and landscape oil painter, my work blends movement and memory, often inspired by the coastal scenes I love most. You’ll see bits of fun, joy, and sometimes a little nerdy history woven into every piece. I paint primarily in oils and acrylics, occasionally watercolor, and sometimes even blend in my background as a photographer.

As a left and right-brained creative, I experiment with many different methods painting mainly in oils, acrylics, watercolor, and occasionally mixing my photography with painting. 

When I’m not painting, I also help fellow creatives as a web designer and brand strategist through my studio, Design Kangaroo.

I’m so glad you’re here — take a look around, explore my original coastal paintings and nursery prints, and come join me behind the scenes on Instagram.
