I find deep pleasure in the creation of art. It has been the one constant throughout my entire life. I love capturing special moments, whether that is quick live paintings on vacation, sketching my point of view at the lake, or painting how I have felt during a season. My faith is at the heart of why I create. As a Christian, creating art is one of the ways I feel most connected to God. I love admiring the beauty of His creation and trying to capture even a small piece of that beauty in my own work. I am thrilled to use my gift to bring others joy as well.

Keepsakes by Grace was created around that idea: some moments deserve to be kept.

There is something so special about being able to look back on a moment and remember not only what it looked like, but how it felt. That is what I hope to create through my art: something personal, meaningful, and lasting that allows you to hold onto a moment long after it has passed.

Whether I am painting your wedding day as it unfolds, creating illustrations for your guests, or bringing a meaningful moment to life through a commission, my hope is that each piece becomes more than just a painting. I hope it becomes a keepsake.

Oh! And that is my puppy Mr. Darcy!
