Your home is sacred. It's where you want to rest and recuperate. Let's fill it with the abundance of nature.

I am an impressionist representational painter and illustrator. I use oils, water based media, and digital apps to create my paintings. I use Procreate primarily for environment and illustration art, as well as for planning my references for oil painting. My oil paintings range from impressionist landscapes and still life to imaginative realist works that incorporate the human figure, flora, and fauna. And finally, my water based mixed media work primarily uses watercolors, inks, gouache, and a number of acrylic mediums.

I use textures, vibrant color schemes, and strong composition to tell the narrative in each painting. You will find that I frequently create textures in my work, no matter the medium. I have found that textures are inviting to most people, and encourage you to connect not just visually, but tactiley as well. I lean towards the secondary color palettes (purples, greens, and oranges) as well as golds and silvers for additional nuances. I paint in an impressionist style, but depending on the painting, I may push realism or abstracting of forms and edges where needed. This play between obliterating forms and edges, as well as refining realistic details in focal areas is what most compels me in my work.

I explore the human connections to our natural world, using symbolism and environmentalist themes. I call this Earth Conscious Art. I am currently planning out multiple series of paintings that depict wildlife or abstracted naturescapes in which I would highlight endangered or at risk species or lands. I express how I connect to nature as an artist, particularly emphasizing how humanity benefits from both nature and art, and that humans must have a higher vested interest in maintaining sustainable and spiritual relationships to it. ​

My creative purpose is to create works of art that uplift and empower those of us who have struggled with feeling powerless, unworthy, unheard, or unseen. I collaborate with viewers and collectors alike, to weave their story of coming into their own strength using natural world imagery. I strive to have my work result in people feeling free, heard, and powerful, to live their life fully as their true authentic self, and to know that they are much stronger and more powerful and capable than they may think. 

With art, I hope to compel and inspire our community to take action to work towards a healthier Earth for our future.
