I have always had a passion for art. From a piece of fabric to a Chicago skyscraper, there is beautiful design all around us. I was born and raised in sunny California, where most of my inspiration is deeply rooted. I moved to Illinois for school purposes and my art became a merging of these two very different life-styles.  My work is inspired by the nostalgia of my past, in the west coast, and combined with my present, in the mid west life style. 

Our Story

I began Arts and Stripes in early 2013, when commissioned work was becoming quite regular for me. Finding a way to get my work out in the public eye was a lifetime goal, and card design is what really brought me to that goal. I do enjoy all forms of art mediums though, so Arts and Stripes has now spanned into my hobbies of, paintings, quilts, jewelry, and more. Thank You!
