Since I was a little girl, I knew that all I wanted to do in life was to create art. I began going to art classes when I was just 8 years old for clay and sculpture, and later drawing. I loved it so much that I went once a week for over 10 years and by the time I was 16, I  was substituting for my art teacher!  

​

I have lived in many places throughout my life, but as an adult I always came back to my childhood predilections of admiring a world beyond our own, a world full of magic. My dreams are filled with enchanted kingdoms with fluttering fairies and flute-playing fauns, beautiful mermaids with streaming long hair, and rolling hills that stretch forever. 

In Ireland, I found a portal to magic- an island surrounded by a majestic (but very cold!) ocean that still holds myths and legend in their reality. In this place, I create art with the gifts of the sea and use acrylics to bring the kingdom in my mind to life on canvas. I am constantly inspired by the country around me and I bring this into every piece of my art.
