STUDIO OFFERINGS
CLASSES & EVENTS
I work with local venues to bring workshops & pop-ups tailored to their audience.
I work one-on-one with clients to
streamline their brand offerings, elevate
their image, and set manageable goals
for growth.
In addition to brand consulting and
management, I provide affordable creative solutions, including, but not limited to:
print & digital design, photography, web
services, copywriting, and content creation.
Workshops
I offer guided watercolor & acrylic workshops designed to foster creativity and connection. Sessions are beginner-friendly and adaptable for a variety of group settings. Every workshop can be thoughtfully tailored to your group, space, and intention. To explore themes, view my upcoming classes.
I provide all materials and guide each workshop step-by-step, encouraging presence over perfection.
In addition to public workshops hosted at bookstores, studios, and community spaces, I offer private and custom workshops for corporate & team-building events, retreats, families, and other special gatherings.
For over a decade, I've captured compositions with my trusty, clunky Canon. My camera shyness naturally led to life behind the lens - happy to play the role of the friend photographer, the coworker with a camera.
Through curiosity came skill, and although I would not consider myself a profoundly proficient photographer, I am proud to share these shots with you.
LIVE EXPERIENCES
I work with brands and community organizations to paint on-site for special events and to curate community art projects!
On-Site Demos
I offer live painting demonstrations that welcome the audience into my creative process for an engaging, shared experience. Whether working on a brand-centered piece or a concept inspired by the event itself, guests are invited to observe the painting as it unfolds in real time.
Live demos create a natural point of curiosity and connection that add atmosphere, visual interest, and a memorable artistic element to gatherings and events.
Available for:
• Festivals & markets
• Private events & celebrations
• Corporate gatherings
• Gallery & retail activations
• Community programs

CBIZ Plaza Art Fair Party
Featured Demo:
Plaza Art Fair
In September 2025, I worked with CBIZ in Kansas City to create a live painting experience during their annual Plaza Art Fair party for employees, clients, and their families.
Using their brand colors, I painted the Country Club Plaza (with their building in the background) in my acrylic dreamscape style. I follow the wood grain in broad strokes and layer with intricate dotwork to create a mosaic-like effect. Though I worked on this piece live at the event, it began and was completed in-studio. "Plaza Dreamscape" now lives in the CBIZ office to honor their team and the vibrant community they work in!
Community Art Pieces
Live experiences that invite audience engagement are some of the most memorable events we can curate together. I work with companies and local organizations to design community projects that align with their audience and goals of the event.
Each project is thoughtfully developed to reflect the people, place, and purpose behind it.
My approach prioritizes:
• Welcoming, beginner-friendly participation
• Thoughtful, site-responsive concepts
• Sustainable materials when possible
• Creating with a community, not simply for one

Featured Project:
Sign the Skyline
In October 2025, I worked with Haas & Wilkerson in Fairway to curate a community art piece for their team in honor of being named Best Places to Work by the Kansas City Business Journal.
I used the H&W brand colors to paint an acrylic dreamscape of Union Station (completed in-studio) and had their employees sign the skyline at their all-team event held in the awe-inspiring Zhou B Art Center, a cultural arts institution nestled in Kansas City’s historical Jazz District.
CUSTOM ARTWORK
In addition to custom work for live demos and community projects, I also take on a limited number of private commissions.
I work with clients to create custom acrylic, oil, and watercolor pieces. For large-scale projects, I can create a curated collection of originals with licensing for reproduction. I am also happy to paint on-site for special projects, like murals and intricate displays.
For custom originals, brand-curated print collections, live painting pop-ups, and workshops, please complete the contact form.
