About Me

I am an artist based in Kalispell, Montana, specializing in contemporary wildlife art created in wool. Using wool as a painterly and sculptural medium, I create richly textured, dimensional works that give animals a strong sense of presence and convey their individuality, dignity, and emotional resonance.

​

My artwork is represented by Eric Thorsen’s Gallery in Bigfork and 4 Ravens Gallery in Missoula. In 2026, I was selected to exhibit at the Western Design Conference and the Femme Art Fair in Washington, D.C. My work has also been exhibited at the Best of the West Show and the Out West Art Show. My pronghorn portrait was selected for Art in the West at the High Desert Museum. Reunited was featured in the Artists for Conservation 2024 book and virtual exhibit, and Tell Me All About It received First Place in the People’s Choice Awards at the Hockaday Museum.

​

Art is my second career, following years of teaching sociology at the college level in the U.S. and internationally and working in animal welfare. I have embraced this second career as an opportunity to bring together my longstanding interests in animals, art, and education.

​

I also enjoy sharing the felting process through workshops and demonstrations. In February 2027, I will be a guest artist and felting instructor at the amazing Triple Creek Ranch in Montana.

​

My husband creates custom wood frames for my work using locally sourced wood, providing a warm, organic complement to each piece.
