About me

I explored many artistic mediums before finding my home in watercolor at the age of 37, founding 37prime soon after. With a BFA in graphic design, I'd spent several years as a designer but felt creatively stifled by the increasing amount of digital work I was doing. I missed using my hands and the satisfaction that comes from creating something handmade. After leaving my design job in 2018, I began playing with watercolor and quickly fell in love. I feel so lucky to have channeled my passion into a career with an audience that shares my enthusiasm. My art can be found in over 20 shops throughout Michigan, as well as on Etsy, Faire, and at seasonal pop-up markets. In addition to my work as an independent artist, I’m active in community outreach & public art projects, including creating murals, seasonal window art, and the Lansing area’s first Free Little Art Gallery.

About my process

Each of my pieces is painted using a tiny paintbrush and highly pigmented watercolor, then printed on a fine art printer using archival paper and HD inks. I’m a one-woman show, so your orders are received, created, packaged and shipped by yours truly. I pride myself on producing high quality handmade goods that bring joy to each and every customer.
