I grew up in far west Texas, surrounded by a wonderful mix of cultures, languages and beliefs. I gave up on my childhood idea of becoming Miss Rodeo America to attend Lamar University and study art history. The years between college and the present were filled with numerous courses and workshops focusing on art, faith and spirituality. I began using my art as a form of silent prayer and meditation over fifteen years ago. It expanded into a full-time profession. My work is found in churches throughout the United States and in several private collections internationally.

I live in North Carolina with my husband Tom, an Episcopal priest, and my rowdy dog Pepper. If you don’t find me in the garden or the studio, I’ll be at the local library working my way through the mystery section.

“All the arts … are derived from the breath that God sent into the human body.” Hildegard of Bingen
