I am an award-winning native Floridan artist inspired by my days fishing in Boca Grande and Chokoloskee. I love where I live and I love what I do. God inspires me daily in the form of the beautiful weather, landscapes and wildlife I live with. I get to spend time with my family in our garden, on the water or in the woods just like I did growing up. I get to share my inspirations with my two boys, and we get to create together. My husband and I teach our children about how important our choices are. That is why I want my art to promote sustainability and conservation of our precious ecosystems and wildlife. Through capturing my experiences in various fine art mediums, I encourage my fellow outdoorsmen to preserve resources for the enjoyment of all.
I render the beauty of my home state with custom, personalized, hand-painted fiberglass fish mounts featuring detailed wildlife and landmarks. These “tattooed” pieces are an indelible reminder that the permanence of unique wildlife in the Florida Everglades depends on the effectiveness of our efforts to be sustainable and responsible. I’ve created work on many species and sizes from sea turtles to bonefish to the ever-popular tarpon.
Sepia toned paintings and fish mounts have become a sought-after trademark style of mine. Sepia tones look like woodcarving or scrimshaw in the way that I apply the paint. Nostalgic Florida themes convey elegance and timelessness in this style.
I also enjoy painting bright, large-format acrylic paintings on stretched canvas, dye-painted raw silks, and watercolors on cold-pressed cotton paper. I like to capture the energy of fighting fish or the tranquility of swimming turtles through light, color and texture.
In any media, I transport you into an experience brought to life with my brush. Since 2002, I have exhibited work in conjunction with fishing tournaments, galleries, and invitational or juried fine art festivals. My work has been published in books, magazines and newspapers, and is on display in both private collections and public spaces.
