I am a Louisville-based fine artist specializing in the ancient technique of encaustic painting.  “Painting with fire”, I use molten wax, pigment and flame to create luminous works that explore freedom, resilience, and the beauty of becoming.

​

After more than three decades in Atlanta, I relocated to Louisville in 2025 to be closer to family and reconnect with nature, open spaces at a gentler pace. This life-shift has deeply influenced my work and offerings, inviting greater curiosity, intuitive trust, and expansiveness into both my life and creative process.

​

My unique techniques allow the translucent layers to seemingly glow from within. Most works include what I’ve termed to be “spot-welds” – unforgettable moments fused into memory that define our true selves.

​

I am honored to have award-winning works in numerous galleries and private collections, yet my true passion is leading transformative retreats that transcend learning a new art technique. My goal is to provide the opportunity to help others live their lives more joyfully and authentically. 

​

"My ultimate dream is that my artwork and retreats give each viewer a vivid realization of their rare beauty and an unchartered sense of freedom.” 

​

I welcome opportunities for commissions, collaborations, studio visits, and meaningful connections with collectors.
