Art and creativity has been a lifelong passion of mine. I discovered watercolors in high school and found that I love to paint. In the 1990s, I began creating murals and faux finishes in my home in Menifee using acrylics, which turned into a business serving residential and commercial clients. From 2007-2014 I was a layout artist/graphic designer for a catalog company. Then came the magical moment in 2017: witnessing that breathtaking total solar eclipse lit a fire in me, and I fell in love with the rich, luminous depths of oil painting. 

​

My personal artistic journey began as a child, but my mission to inspire began in 2014, when I established Art Uncorked - Mobile Paint and Sip. Through Art Uncorked, I bring the fun straight to you with mobile paint and sip parties that turn any gathering into a fun-filled memorable painting session. Whether it’s a lively community event, an energizing team-building day at work, a heartfelt fundraiser, a birthday bash, bridal shower, girls’ night, or just a cozy private party at home—I handle the setup, supplies, and step-by-step guidance so everyone walks away with a stunning painting they’re proud of (and usually a big smile too!). I also love offering one-on-one private art lessons in my Menifee home studio, where we can dive deeper into watercolors, acrylics, or oils—tailored just for you, whether you’re a total beginner or ready to level up your technique.

​

I’m truly humbled by the recognition that’s come my way:

Multiple "Best of Menifee Awards" for top Paint & Sip and Art Lessons, being named "Artist of the Month" by the Arts Council Menifee in August 2019, the "2022 Most Inspirational People of the World" honor from SIMA Global Awards, a "2023 - Honorary Humanitarian Doctorate", and contributing author to the inspiring national and international best-sellers "Showing Up, The Power Is In The Asking" (Books 1 and 2) by Robbie Motter.

 

Life’s too short not to create, laugh, and connect through art. Let’s make some magic together—grab your friends, pop the cork (or juice!), and let’s paint something amazing. I hope to paint with you soon! I can’t wait to see what we create!
