My interests and skills are varied, giving me a unique approach to life to which I am grateful for.

​

Born and raised in Clifton, Texas, a small community with big art influence, I have been impacted by art all my life and naturally felt drawn to creative outlets. My interests, desire to help people in need and personal experience led me to my first profession in orthotics and prosthetics, where I had a creative outlet in designing and fabricating braces and prosthetic limbs for people. This profession has also led me to an opportunity to do medical mission work where I serve as a board member and volunteer prosthetist/orthotist with Prosthetic Promises In His Name, a non-profit focused in providing prosthetic services in Zambia, Africa. I took on the Executive Director role for the PPIHN board in 2020 and also continue to serve as a volunteer prosthetist/orthotist and team leader for trips to Zambia.

​

Though working in the medical profession, I maintained a focus in continuing to develop my art through the years. In 2021, I transitioned to a full-time art career and opened Vantage Point Art Gallery in downtown Gainesville, Texas with a vision to provide local artists like myself a space to display their art and create a place of community for creatives. I have a focus in mural painting, both indoor and outdoor, which is my outlet to work on a large scale. On a small scale, I work mostly in acrylic painting and mixed media.

In January 2024, my husband and I moved to Maryland in search of cooler weather and a new adventure. I’m excited to continue expanding my skills and artistic endeavors in a new area.
