After years of dabbling and exploring different avenues of artistic expression, I found that creating detailed pen & ink drawings is my true passion! In May 2011, I launched Fine Lines Art & Design and have been sharing my love for fresh and innovative patterns and attention-grabbing images ever since! It is my artistic intention to produce beautiful artwork and high-quality handcrafted products that are affordable and accessible to all!

In the early years, my cozy studio apartment (that’s a nice way of saying small!) in Black Mountain, NC became my center of operations! My drafting table was both my creative studio and printing department. My kitchen and coffee tables functioned as packaging and shipping spaces and every inch under my bed, sofa and my ONE closet functioned as supply and inventory storage. While I have moved from my apartment to a quaint little house, I’ve found that some things just don’t change! As Fine Lines continues to expand and grow, every available table, dresser and countertop still has the potential to turn into workspace!

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I have an amazing assistant that provides endless amounts of encouragement. My sweet English Lab, Clyde, is the best four-legged, furry friend that a girl could ask for! Always by my side, he is quick to offer kisses, snuggles and enthusiastic support!

“I work to keep my art fresh and fun and am always on the hunt for new and inspiring ideas! I love a good afternoon hike, checking out the many amazing local restaurants and breweries in Asheville as well as exploring new places and cultures! I feel like I have the travel bug most of the time and am constantly on the lookout for new and exciting places to discover! Whether a trip to Vietnam, Costa Rica or Haiti, I always return from my travels feeling renewed and motivated by the art, food and people I encounter!”
