Eureka, CA
Northern California based artist. I seek to create work that brings beauty and healing to our broken spaces and that fosters reminders of our humanity.
MessageI am visual artist based in Eureka, California; a small community nestled along the Northern California coastline.
Originally from Southern California, I have also found home in Hawai‘i, Pennsylvania, Florida, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Each place I have lived has given me a different perspective and has informed the aesthetics I am drawn to. I have painted for as long as I can remember. I received my BFA in drawing and painting from the University of Hawai‘i and continued graduate studies at Regent College in Vancouver, BC, where I studied the interplay of faith, creativity and the arts.
I like to think of art making as a way to pay attention, listen, stay present and engage with life. In my work, I am interested in exploring nuanced colors, textures, light and feelings found in nature, where we dwell and within ourselves.
I hope to create work that brings beauty and healing to broken spaces and fosters reminders of our humanity.
