From an early age, creativity was the heartbeat of my home—woven through music, garden paths, floral arrangements, and every room touched by thoughtful design. I was instinctively drawn to artistic expression, experimenting with needlework, photography, and design as a child, often guided by the inspiring programs at the High Point Arts Council. In high school, I found joy in bringing ideas to life as co-editor of the Yearbook, and even the simple satisfaction of refinishing a worn piece of furniture became an act of artistry.

After earning my Business Administration degree from High Point College, I entered the world of furniture design, working in the heart of Market Square. Managing the F. Schumacher & Co. showroom introduced me to the elegance and rhythm of interior design. That experience paved the way for formal study. I pursued an Associate Degree in Interior Design at Randolph Technical, where I developed a trained eye for light, shadow, and color perspective. A course in Faux Painting further deepened my appreciation for surface, texture, and illusion.

My journey led me to Dallas, where I served as a staging designer and accessories buyer for Thomasville Furniture. In 1994, my family and I relocated to Hilton Head Island and began a new chapter—founding a remodeling company alongside my husband. Here, my design background naturally extended into consulting on renovations, helping clients reimagine their spaces with personality and warmth.

In my role as a Realtor, I merge these creative passions with real-world guidance—offering clients assistance with staging, updates, and transforming homes for optimal presentation. Whether it’s enhancing curb appeal or advising on color palettes, I approach each property as a canvas with potential.

Painting has always remained close to my heart. Since 2021, I’ve been an active member of the Society of Bluffton Artists and the Art League of Hilton Head continue to evolve through workshops and self-study. I primarily paint with acrylics and oils on canvas, as well as watercolor and pastel on paper. My subjects often reflect the beauty around me—coastal wildlife, Lowcountry scenes, florals, landscapes, and the occasional commission. Nature is my muse, and creating art is both my therapy and joy. I’m equally at home using faux finishes to revive a space or breathe new life into fish taxidermy through detailed brushwork.

My style celebrates vibrant color, layered texture, and the interplay of light and shadow. Whether through art, design, or real estate, I strive to bring a thoughtful eye, creative energy, and a love of beauty to every project I touch.
