Venture Here and There 
My time @andersonranchartscenter this summer was incredible. @beckysuss was my instructor and I learned so much. I challenged myself on a whole new level, and gained confidence in broken spots. I am excited to share pieces of my work with you! #artretreat #westernart #artistofinsgagram #coloradoartist #acrylic #buyart

My grandma Mern had a blouse with this print on it. It was an airy summer shirt that went from a nicer “go to town shirt” to a “everyday” shirt in my lifetime. I can still feel the cool fabric and her rough hands embracing me. She passed when I was 16 so unexpectedly I am still trying to catch my breath. I have spent a lot of time reflecting on her life this week @andersonranchartscenter and wishing that her life had been easier and we had had her for longer. I hope to live my life so deep and wide that it will somehow be enough for both of us. #grandparents #acrylicpaint #vintageprint #country #wildwest #farmgirl #artistofinstagram #coloradoartist #artretreat #grief

B-a-n-a-n-a-s @lisabardot has inspired me draw more of this fruit. It had been a whirlwind last 48 hours with commission sales and I can’t wait to get to work 🤗 #illustration #bananas #fruit #thishitisbananas #artistoninstagram #coloradoartist #buyart #altsummit2019

I have been so exhausted since Alt, I even went to the doc to have him check my thyroid levels out. Everything is fine with my blood but I am DRAGGING. Getting to use #procreate to still make things from my bed is helping my outlook. #makingarteveryday #coloradoartist #artistofinstagram #pig #farmanimals #rurallife #pork #illustration #oink

Hello if you are new to following me 👋 a few things about me… 1. I live in RURAL Colorado where I teach in the school I grew up in. 2. We own a handful of cows which makes me a 5th generation Colorado rancher. 3. I taught special education for 7 years and loved it but the stress was, well, stressful so teaching Art now is an absolute delight. 4. I completely stopped creating art for 10 years after a horrible experience with an art professor in college. 5. I have a finished manuscript of a children’s book and I am ready to start pitching agents. 😳 6. I struggle with mental health and I hope by talking about it it will take some of the stigma away. 7. I will have been married to my college love for 8 years in June. We have a 5 and 3-year-old that keep us busy, constantly cleaning and completely in love. 8. My favorite things are; traveling, napping, fancy cocktails, and good food.
