Visual stories in paint, pencil, and thread.

Each painting or fiber piece starts with a thought or feeling that grows into something much larger. I love experimenting with colors, often choosing unexpected combinations that surprise me. Whether creating a botanical or a portrait, I bring elements of nature into each piece, creating a connection between the subject and the world around it.

Hello!

I am multidisciplinary artist from Southern California. I work in watercolor, contemporary embroidery, gouache, and acrylic painting. My work is rooted in a deep appreciation for nature, often focusing on botanical themes and the intricate relationships between humans, animals, and the natural world.

My passion is working with artists to tap into the power of art which provides a relaxing outlet, self expression and the development of an artistic voice. Building community around art is a joy!
