I am a self taught artist whose focus is creating emotional, intimate, and colorful moments of motherhood.
When I am asked about my art I begin by explaining I cherish pregnancy, birth and all the experiences of motherhood. I am a mother to seven (yes, seven) children. I have experienced miscarriage, home birth, hospital birth, water birth, emergency Cesarian, VBAC, and stillbirth and value the transformational process of each. I love birth stories because there is nothing more electric and life affirming than birth! Which is why I am drawn to create emotional images of motherhood from pregnancy and beyond.
I am a Christian mother of 7 children, a writer, a wife, a home schooler, a do-it-yourself kinda girl who knows her way around power tools, a sugar junkie, a movie aficionado, a wearer of only comfortable clothes who spends an obscene amount of time doing endless loads of laundry. I am a dance around the house, sing in the car, spontaneous kinda girl who loves being covered in paint.
Between raising my children and educating them {I home school} I like to paint.
I have had the privilege of seeing my children grow into my favorite people in the world.
I am a firm believer in the beauty of pregnancy and the empowering process of birth.
I am passionate about advocacy, creating awareness about loss through sharing Amelia’s story, and have discovered joy and healing by creating art that celebrates life, exalts pregnancy, illuminates and uplifts motherhood.
I hope my work touches your heart.
