I am an artist, maker, and designer based in Portland, OR creating whimsical and dramatically colorful multi-media works that range from cute and quirky to irreverent and bizarre. I recently returned to my childhood passion of making visual art in middle age after pursuing music for a very long time and I feel that my artwork reflects the catharsis, vibrancy and abstraction of music through bright colors, extreme contrasts and bold, abstract forms.

I also make handmade crafts, home goods and other fiber art meant to inspire laughter and wonder. You can find my prints and handmade crafts under the brand name Xtreme Twee on Etsy, at local Portland-area pop-ups, and at the cat-themed boutique Gifty Kitty where I have been a consistent top seller.
