About Me

  Although it has evolved through the years, I founded the Daydreams & Canvas brand in 2009. As an artist, there is plenty of inspiration living in the Arkansas river valley. I've lived here the majority of my life. I have a cozy studio that was actually my first home as a full fledged adult! Family ties have been a huge influence in my artistic career. Many family members have an appreciation for art in all forms. My Dad taught me to see shape & form at an early age as an artist himself.

​

  I have a very unique perspective as I was born with a genetic disorder known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta. For that reason, I live with the aid of a wheelchair. I've had 82 broken bones, mostly to my lower body, with the most recent being in 2016. I inherited it from my mom, who is sadly, no longer with me. She too suffered many broken bones. She taught me to heal, move forward, & persevere through it all.

​

  In 2009, a friend, that I hadn't seen in many years, suggested I try art licensing. I didn't know the industry even existed!! I was as green as the Spring grass! But, I was hooked the first time I saw my art at a major retailer. There is no going back. It has become a calling for me. I am grateful to that friend to this day. It completely changed my life. I have learned the industry inside and out since that time. I especially appreciate the relationships I've had in the industry, as well as the consumer base that has an appreciation for my work and the products it is on. 

​

  My hope is to continue to maintain the growth of the Daydreams & Canvas brand & add staff along the way. Having Julie LaDow of MainLine Art & Design representing me to fulfill that goal is a beginning of it all. They are a true blessing to work with!

​

  With all that said, HERE IS TO THE FUTURE!
