Painter, designer, educator, author and creative!

I’m an American mid-west gal artist living in charming Strasbourg, France. I have loved making art for as long as I can remember. My artwork can be described as bright, joyful, effervescent, bold and of course COLORFUL! I’m particularly captivated by the way color makes us feel which is why I try to hone in on the power of vibrant colors when I create! I create with the purpose of evoking joy, which is why you’ll find positive themes in my work such as hearts, butterflies, upward moving swishes, florals and abstract pieces with optimistic color palettes.

I believe that the two most important attributes for an artist to have are curiosity and a sense of play. This is why I love to explore painting on different surfaces such as canvas, glass, wood, faux plants and sometimes fruit - yes fruit! I believe that adding a pop of bright color to our surroundings can lift our moods and bring a smile to our face.

I love design and am the creator and CEO of the global lifestyle brand, EttaVee of which i’m incredibly proud of. The EttaVee brand allows for my colorful artwork to be more accessible by way of art licensing and the creation of festive everyday products and home decor.
