I create art to make the unspoken felt and to cultivate deeper connection in the world around me. It’s what makes me feel alive.

I’m drawn to creating expressive, emotion-led pieces that feel raw and honest. I make Art that captures a feeling, or a shift. Whether through texture, vivid color, or “messy details”, my favorite work is the kind that invites people to slow down and feel something. My workspace includes a plethora of palette knives, texture mediums and spray bottles.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in real life. Quiet moments, personal growth, motherhood, and the in-between spaces people often overlook. I’m inspired by human experience in its most honest form, shown throughout my work in bold palettes and abstract concepts.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take my boys on an overseas trip. Then I would invest in expanding my career~ upgrading materials, creating a dedicated studio space and a marketing budget up level.
