Welcome

Welcome to The Art Chief, where art is created to speak to your soul. Discover the paintings that will take your mind where you want to go, a calm vibe, an introspective place, or an upbeat experience. Let’s create that piece that will bring you happiness.

My journey has led me to embrace the dual roles of a painter and a professional development trainer (15+ years), where I fuse creativity with strategic thinking. Embodying a mission to make a mark both on canvas and on the lives of professionals, my work blends artistic expression with practical skills to facilitate growth and change.

As a child, plain white walls inspired me to color - on them - all the time! Fortunately, my mother was smart enough to redirect my love of creating to paper, pencils, paints, and pastels. By college, I studied graphic arts and psychology and leveraged my creative instinct and love of learning into a career in advertising/marketing and strategic messaging. 

At 50, I went back to school to broaden my reach and impact on others by earning a Master’s in Leadership Development. I genuinely love teaching, continue to train professionals, and now I have more time to paint. Life is good! 

You can see that I enjoy working in different styles, techniques and color palettes. I love creating art that brings joy to others. Seeing the recipient’s eyes light up when the painting becomes theirs is so rewarding!
