Bio
Art has always been a part of who I am. My favorite toy as a child was my play-doh machine. I have been creating as long as I can remember! In High School, I focused on fine art classes. I spent a few years studying art in College, however, I was told no one these days makes it as an artist. Since I was working at an Aquarium, my focus shifted to biology. I spent a few years as a Dive Professional. In 2020, I decided to start making my dreams a reality and started a drone business with my husband called JL Aerial Views, a podcast with my diving friends about exploring outside comfort zones titled Siren Soapbox, and decided not to listen to what people say about art and became a professional artist. I had several heartaches in the Spring of 2020 and painting helped to put me back together. I would spend hours listening to podcasts and following along to Let's Make Art Watercolor tutorials. Not only did I discover how cathartic watercolors can be, I found out that I was actually pretty good! I would wake up thinking about painting and fall asleep dreaming of what I could create next. Watercolor has opened a whole new world for me and helped me find purpose again. Painting pets is what I have been specializing in. In 2022, I made it a goal to paint 100 pets and beat it by 8! I also took home “Best in Show” at a local fair for my Fiona the Hippo Painting. This year I am starting to teach watercolor classes. I cannot wait to see where this journey will take me!
