I’ve always believed that the world is a little brighter with a dash of whimsy and a splash of creativity. From childhood sketches to my grown-up adventures in painting and design, art has been my way of making sense of the world—and inviting others to do the same.
I’m the creator behind the Sock Monkey Oracle, a playful yet insightful deck that brings imagination and fun to life, and I also explore the canvas with fine art paintings that blend color, emotion, and story. Every piece I make is a little adventure, a little magic, and a lot of heart.
When I’m not drawing, painting, or dreaming up new projects, you might find me writing, podcasting, or sharing creative inspiration with fellow makers. My work is for anyone who wants to pause, smile, and remember that creativity is for everyone—even if you think you’re “not an artist.”
Curious? Dive into my collections and let your imagination play—you never know what might spark.
Bio
Award-Winning Artist, Author, and Creator of the Sock Monkey Oracle
I discovered my passion for painting at 33—and once I did, there was no turning back. Balancing early mornings of creating art before work, I honed my skills and, by 1999, turned my love of art into a full-time career. That marked the beginning of an extraordinary creative journey.
At 44, I launched the television series Give Your Walls Some Soul, an inspirational how-to painting show that grew from a single station to over 50 stations nationwide, reaching more than 10 million households. The show won multiple awards and continues to air today, inspiring viewers to bring color and creativity into their lives.
At 46, I published my children’s book Monkey Made of Sockies, which grew into a line of licensed merchandise, a coloring book, and the Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcovers—popular with several LPGA pros.
Today, I am an award-winning artist, television producer and host, author, and songwriter. My artwork is licensed and sold globally, and my latest creation, the Sock Monkey Oracle, blends metaphysical insight with playful, creative fun. I also host the Made to Make Podcast, celebrating creativity and artists from all walks of life.
Explore my art, oracle decks, and creative projects, and join me in celebrating imagination, inspiration, and the joy of making.
We are all, made to make.
