Born in St. Louis, Missouri, and raised along the Mississippi River in Little Falls, Minnesota, the artist is an architect-trained contemporary abstractionist whose fluid alcohol-ink paintings investigate movement, atmosphere, and spatial perception. Holding a Master of Architecture from North Dakota State University, her practice merges architectural structure with organic process, allowing pigment to move freely across non-absorptive surfaces mounted to cradled wood panels. The resulting compositions balance control and chance, forming luminous currents where color behaves like water, light, and flowing breezes.

Shaped by diverse coastal, continental, and international landscapes encountered throughout her life, her work reflects an expansive dialogue between environment, movement, and lived experience. Working from her Minnesota studio, she maintains an active commission-based fine art practice while developing and evolving series such as the Blue Zone Collection, expanding contemporary abstraction through material experimentation, immersive color, and an architectural sensitivity to how viewers inhabit space.
