I’m a homeschooling mama of four, illustrator, and lover of quiet, meaningful moments. Most days, you’ll find me reading books with my kids, planting something new in the garden, baking bread, or sneaking in a few rows of knitting between lessons.

Family is at the heart of everything I do, and over time, that has naturally found its way into my art. I’ve dabbled in all kinds of creative projects—snail mail exchanges, small business branding, even a short-lived attempt at writing a novel (and yes, some dramatic high school love songs may still exist in a drawer somewhere). But I always come back to one thing: making art that captures a memory.

This current chapter began when a dear friend asked me to create a Mother’s Day gift—something simple, floral, and full of meaning. That project reminded me just how special this kind of work is. These pieces connect people to their stories, their families, and sometimes, to a part of the past they thought was gone.

Now, through Gardner Lane, I create custom artwork filled with quiet beauty and memory—art for people who love rainy afternoons, fairytales, stargazing, and the magic that lives in the ordinary.
