Artist behind My Art Pixie

My passion has been creativity since I was a little girl. Art and design was a natural path for me to study in college. After college, I was a full time mom. I worked hard to become an artist and illustrator while raising my children. They are my inspiration.

I help multi-passionate artists focus on their skill so they can grow in their art practice.

I live in Indiana where I create art out of my home studio working with pen & ink, watercolor, and mixed media. I also work on digital art, graphic design, children's book illustrations, and book covers. Now that most of my children are grown, I am busy running an art business.


I enjoy a challenge! Pen & Ink is seen throughout my art because I love mark-making and I enjoy drawing. This permanent medium that has challenged me over the years to relax and have fun with the outcome. 

Watercolor is an equally challenging medium that I enjoy. These mediums are fun to work with together! ​I also enjoy breaking the traditional art rules. I believe that once you learn the basics of any art medium, it is time to push the limits and that is why I enjoy mixed media! It is fun and it gives me a chance to explore, discover, and play with new tools and techniques!​

Feel free to contact me about commissions, illustrations, or freelance design work. I limit my work to two commission works per month.
