I was born and raised in northern Wisconsin where I began noticing details and the beauty of nature around me. During high school, I studied under the instruction of master oil painter Alfred Weiss. I then went on to graduate with honors from the Western Wisconsin Technical College in LaCrosse, WI with an associate degree in Commercial Art. Soon after, I became an illustrator/designer in the Madison, WI area. Since then, I have transitioned to Watertown, WI where I currently reside with my husband and two daughters working as the owner and operator of Set Apart Art Studio

"The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful talent. It brings me such JOY to use it .in encouraging others. I hope my art can inspire others, put a smile on your face, and bring glory to God."

Set Apart Art Studio is a studio where various art classes are taught to a wide range of ages. Our students vary in creative experience. Some are novice artists and some have never made a piece of art. My goal is to share my love of creating art with others, and to give encouragement to people.

I provide a mobile studio where I bring the painting party to you. You will receive step by step fun instruction in painting a beautiful masterpiece that you can proudly hang in your home or give as a gift. No experience is required!
