I paint realistic portraits that honor individuals with whimsy and charm. I specialize in legacy portraits, in which I interview the person to obtain their life story in addition to painting their portrait.
I offer developmental editing, book coaching, and soul care for writers. Get a wholehearted advocate for your writing and a helping hand crafting your fantastic novel.
I am an artist, writer, developmental editor in training, and spiritual director in training.
I have a PhD in Sociology from Purdue University. My area of specialty was Self & Identity Theory. Then I spent 12 years as an adjunct sociology professor and eight years as a sociologist of religion. Before that, I was an elementary art teacher.
