I've always loved art. I love to draw and paint, and after taking several art classes and after massive encouragement from my family, I have taken the next step to make something out of a beloved hobby. Most of my inspiration comes from my family, and I now have two kids, Charlee and her little brother Jett. Like me, when some parents are expecting a new addition to the family, or redecorating a child's bedroom, they want that room to be personalized and special for their child. That is where my joy of painting has led me... to become a muralist.

I am very versatile... I do custom canvases in multiple sizes. And for those who live near the Des Moines, Iowa area, I can work with your children's rooms, windows, bathrooms, laundry rooms, almost any room you need.

Every child inspires. How does your child inspire you? Let me put their inspiration onto their walls...

I AM AN AUTHOR!!!


Four years ago i started working on a children's book inspired by my brother Jesse who gives the Biggest and Best hugs EVER!!!
within the last few months my book has gone through the publishing process and it is now official: I am an AUTHOR of my first children's book!!!
the book is called "Uncle Orange" and it is about a boy named Dex Bushel. He sees his family members as more than just his aunts and uncles. He sees them as fruit! An Uncle Orange, Aunt Lemon, Gram and Gramp Cherry... At a picnic, we get to see the Bushel family through Dex's eyes and the hugs, rubs, kisses, smiles and love that he shares with them. and I did the illustrations myself:) (i give myself a massive pat on the back:)
It's been a long wait, but it is finally here:)
