A Wisconsin native, living in Arizona for 15 years (pool days, palm trees, and sun are my fuel!), who would choose Oreos, ice cream, or cookie dough/cookies, over cake any day.

I graduated with a BA in Graphic Design, but my heart and hands go directly to drawing. Honestly, I took more drawing, painting, and ceramics courses than graphics…who knew that was even possible?!

I’m a night-owl to my core, so most mornings you can find me snuggled up on the couch with my daughters and a cappuccino (or two) in hand - compliments of my husband, Eddie. I then proceed to get more than enough exercise while chasing the girls around the house, and swimming together. Evenings usually consist of tea, drawing/printing, and slow music.

We are a family that thrives on a slower lifestyle - camping, being in the sun, watching movies, traveling, and of course - having dance parties with the girls.

not a fan of heels

or most shoes for that matter, and am very glad AZ allows me to be in flip flops 24/7!

my “go to” caffeine

order is an “Iced Dirty Chai.” Iced chai tea latte with a shot of espresso - for that extra kick!

my 10 best friends

from my childhood are still my best friends - now with a few added extras!

I got a cheek kiss

and a hug, from Willie Nelson years ago. Maybe he’s my braid inspiration?!
