Meet the artist
I am unapologetically expressive. I paint because on an atomic level it energizes and stretches me. It is the most fulfilling kind of hard work. It brings up questions of talent, growth, longing and memories. When I feel something, I want to experience it in an artistic and expressive way. I want to share that experience with people because I am inspired when that kind of out-pouring of love and life is shared with me.
I currently live on the Big Island of Hawaii with my husband Dan and two beautiful daughters Molly and Emily. I am the owner and creative director at Personify.

Born to Create.
As you can see, I’ve painted since I could hold a brush. My foundation in art comes from my mom who is an artist and always encouraged my love for color, shape and make believe.
-
My People.
Dan, Molly and Emily. My best friends, critics and champions. They love me unconditionally and everyday help me learn how to be the best version of myself.

It's Personal.
It’s always personal and I love it that way. I owned and led a creative branding business with my husband called PERSONIFY for 20 years. Since moving to Hawaii, I now wake up and do what I love … paint!
“Painting has unlocked a whole new part of myself. It not only brings me joy, and makes me a better mom, wife, and business owner/creative director — it’s the truest reflection of my soul, and how I connect best with myself. The better I know me, the more I know what I want, and greater I’m able to live my life purpose. Which makes life that much more amazing.”
