For me, theatre and painting are world building and dream making — they are visceral, emotional, and cerebral. My own artistic vision transpires through the act of piecing together unlikely components, creating juxtapositions among the material, subject, and tone to create stories that live just on the tips of our tongues.
I am a theatre director, scenic and costume designer, scenic artist, and fine art painter constantly exploring new media and diversifying my skillset. My multi-faceted experiences serving in the Peace Corps in Madagascar, conducting academic research in west Africa, teaching at the university level, and working as a well-rounded theatre maker means I have accumulated daring, optimism, and vision and am always in search of the next project.
Having traveled the world, tackled masters and phd programs in theatre studies, and delving into my own creative practice, I continue to dedicate my artistic work to the worlds of imagination that can build communities by helping us understand and become more empathetic to the world around us.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you!

Art & Design
Custom artwork is a beautiful way to bring our stories and memories to life and share them with the world around us. Whether we want to commemorate the big moments and the people who touched our lives, or pay tribute to the perfect journey or dream, a custom painting invites you to cherish those memories every day.
​
How, exactly, do I bring your stories to life through art?​​​
Making Memories, Making Art
Live Event Painting: Capture the atmosphere and moment of important events like weddings, baby showers, milestone birthdays, retirement events, or graduation receptions by having a live painter on site creating an artwork right before your eyes!
Murals: Breathe new life into your family room, create a nurturing atmosphere for the nursery, style a backdrop for a custom selfie booth, or install an instagrammable photo op in your restaurant or business. Murals are larger-than-life opportunities to let your story envelope you!
Portraits: Honor those who have passed, commemorate important moments, or stroke an ego with a hand painted portrait. Humans AND Pets welcome!
Custom Artwork: Celebrate your move with a city portrait, imagine just the perfect book cover for that novel you just finished, honor your favorite sports team with custom painted sneakers, or replace your basic purse with a hand-painted masterpiece. I love a project and will paint on almost anything!
