I am a pencil artist who has been passionate about drawing for as long as I can remember. In 2012, I felt called to take a leap of faith and turn both my God-given talent and my love for business into a full-time career. What began with custom pencil commissions soon grew into new opportunities, including professional face painting and eventually gallery management—each step giving me the chance to share art with more people and in more ways.

​

Today, I’m proud to own and operate the GVL Art Gallery and Shop, a creative space that showcases the work of over 30 talented local artists. The gallery is more than just a place to buy art—it’s a community hub where artists and art lovers can connect, discover unique creations, and support the vibrant creative spirit of our region. From original works to prints, gifts, and handmade treasures, every piece tells a story and reflects the heart of the artist who created it.

​

Being both an artist and a gallery owner allows me to live out my passion every day: creating pencil artwork that captures life’s details, while also encouraging and uplifting fellow artists. It’s an honor to combine creativity, community, and entrepreneurship in a way that brings beauty and inspiration to others.
