Born with a natural talent for visual storytelling, Abby began drawing and painting at a young age, using art as a means to express her appreciation for life’s little treasures. Her formal training in fine arts helped refine her technique, but it is her passion for capturing human connection and emotional authenticity that truly defines her work.

She specializes in bold brush impressions and knife work on the canvas.
What sets Abby apart is her ability to make her paintings feel personal and relatable. She draws inspiration from everyday scenes that are universally understood—a loving glance between partners, the warmth of a cozy home, or the freedom of a child’s laughter in a sunlit park. This relatability makes her work especially meaningful to her audience, as many find pieces of their own stories and memories reflected in her art. Collectors of Abby’s work often describe a sense of peace and happiness when surrounded by her paintings, as if they are surrounded by cherished memories that radiate positivity and warmth.
