Bluebonnet Trail Painting

Born and raised in Lubbock, Texas I began taking art lessons as far back as I can remember. In 2012, I graduated from Texas Tech University with a Fine Arts degree (BFA), and now live and work full-time as a painter in Dallas, Texas. I spent eight years in the corporate world and in July of 2020 I made the leap to focus on painting. I specialize in fine art and oil paintings with a western-contemporary flare. When I am not painting in my home studio, you will find me in the kitchen cooking anything from handmade pasta to a batch of enchiladas. I am always looking for the next place to travel to with my husband, Russell. Having grown up in West Texas I am heavily influenced by cacti, thunderclouds and colorful skies. I also love to pull inspiration from photography but my favorite source is my own personal travels, especially within the beautiful state of Texas.
