As a Boulder, Colorado native, I am an oil painter focused on creating large-scale cityscapes and landscapes. Owner of Studio Defor, an art gallery in downtown Longmont, I am proud to showcase my work throughout our community in local hospitals, retail centers, coffee shops, and auctions. Holding a master’s degree in education, in 2024 I founded the Art Accessibility Project, which aims to create art classes for Neurodivergent children. In addition to my art, I am a former runway model and the current Mrs. Boulder in the 2026 Mrs.Colorado pageant. My greatest joy comes from spending time with my husband and children, and from serving our community as the President of the board of directors for the Autism Society of Boulder County.
