I never truly thought about how beautiful the world was until something threatened that beauty—like a pandemic.

I invite you to be more present: enjoy more sunsets, slow down and smell the flowers, and never take anything or anyone for granted. Approach each day with curiosity, and soon you’ll realize that my paintings are colorful, magical moments—lighthearted memories brought to life.

I use acrylics because they dry quickly (and I’m a fast talker), inks for emphasis and rhythm, 3D textures to create references, and glitter to add sparkle. Last but not least, I incorporate needlework—because thread literally and figuratively holds our lives together. Don’t believe me? Just turn your shirt inside out, and you’ll see!
