I am a visual artist, vlogger, and nature enthusiast. I live a seasonally nomadic vegan lifestyle. I divide my time between life on the road and my home in Southwest Florida where I reside with my husband and our five feline companions. I currently run a YouTube Vlog under the channel name Artful Outdoor Adventures.
My Vlog
With the help of my husband Kevin, I recently finished converting a 2018 Ford Transit van into an off grid camper to serve as both a living space and an art studio while I travel. After months of documenting the van build on my YouTube channel, I am now sharing my seasonally nomadic vegan lifestyle and van Life adventures with everyone. I love being outdoors and find creative inspiration in nature. I hope you’ll follow along and offer your support and encouragement.

My Art
My work is inspired by natural processes and the beauty of wild places. I bring to my work a perspective of deep ecology as I express an eco-spiritual and holistic worldview. My paintings are intended to be uplifting and joyful, but often ends up being ambiguous and poignant as my subconscious takes over. I have learned to just accept this rather than try to control it. You can view a portfolio of select paintings HERE. I am currently working on some designs and illustrations for an upcoming project to be announced.
Vegan Since 1990
I became a vegan in 1990 after having been vegetarian for three years. I went vegan for the animals, but now promote a vegan lifestyle for not only the animals, but for the environment. I also have found a wholefoods plant-based diet to be far healthier than the standard American diet that includes animal ingredients. The vegan philosophy informs my art and every other aspect of my life. To learn more about veganism and plant based living start HERE.
