Artist Statement

Inspired by the natural world and lived experiences, my art explores the themes of connection and memory.

My creative journey often begins in nature with my camera in hand to gather inspiration. This exploration continues in the studio, where I  experiment with the unique properties of watercolor, ink, gouache, acrylic, digital media, and different techniques. In my work, I prioritize the energy and feeling of lived moments over realism. Creating art strengthens my connection with myself and others, and I hope my work evokes similar feelings of connection in those who experience it.

In 2025, I am focused on painting new collections and creating art for products. Be sure to sign up for my email list to see them first.
