Given my international background and passion for traveling, I thought for sure I'd grow up to be a spy or superstar. However, I now find myself in Chapel Hill, North Carolina working as a full-time artist, and I couldn't be happier. I live in a small charming white house bursting at the seams with people, animals, paintings, laughter and love. My three daughters, two cats, two dog and two guinea pig are just a few of the many reasons I’m excited to get out of bed in the morning.

Art of Kindness Studio, LLC. enables me to combine two of my biggest passions: painting and making the world a little kinder. For years, I’ve sold my paintings on sites like Etsy and eBay and donated a portion to charity. Now that my kids are older and I get to sleep through the night (yay me!), I’m thrilled to be hosting my very own website.

I donate twenty-five percent of the proceeds of each painting I sell to charity. Unless otherwise noted in individual listings, the money goes to UNICEF*. You will receive a receipt of this donation within 24 hours of purchasing one of my paintings.

*UNICEF relentlessly strives to help the world’s most vulnerable children get the nutrition, water and medical supplies they desperately need.
