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...

Home and Garden Show '09

In February, Des Moines has their annual Home and Garden Show. I was able to participate one year and share a booth with Distinctive Decorating by Lisa. I got a lot of positive exposure. We were able to set up six large sample boards along with twelve 8x10 smaller samples.
These are a few of the paintings that I prepared specifically for the show.

This is a sample of what I can do for a themed wall mural. It's fun to be able to see what kind of variety you can add to any mural or painting. For this particular rocket I made custom frames to piece the mural together... giving it the puzzle effect.


Although I can paint in a variety of settings, most of my work is concentrated around children's themes and rooms. This is an example of a boy's custom canvas that can serve as the central idea for a pirate themed room either as a larger wall mural or a smaller themed canvas.


To show what kind of variety is available, this is a 3D painting of a girl's purse. It is zebra striped with customized coloring, it has a jeweld handle, a fur lining, and a few little key jangles that make it a fun piece of art.
