Nerding out on a hike with my awesome trekking poles, somewhere in Napa County. 3-year-old firmly attached to my back.

 

About

Born and raised in Nebraska, I relish in the opportunity to travel the world as a military spouse. From Nebraska to Guam to Florida to California to Virginia, I am constantly inspired by my surroundings. I’m happiest when I’m creating—I work primarily in watercolor, but dabble in colored pencil, acrylic, and found object collage.

Art was my passion throughout grade school and high school. In college, I earned a BA in Professional Art. A few years later, I picked up an MA in Art History with an emphases in 19th Century American Art. Now, in my 30s, I am employed as a long-term substitute art teacher for a very large school district. Every week I teach 24 different classes (Pre-K to 5th grade) spread out over three different schools. I spend my spare time working on my own art and hanging out with my extremely groovy 4-year-old daughter.

As a side hustle, I own an Etsy shop—The Wanderer’s Workshop—where I peddle my wares—ocean and beach themed art, watercolor paintings, commissions, and fine art prints.
