Statement
I invite you to step into my world of vibrant color, luminous light, and wild, heartfelt creativity. Inspired by the lush landscapes of my childhood in Hawai’i and the moody magic of the Pacific Northwest, my paintings celebrate nature’s movement, mystery, and quiet power. I aim to capture the joyful energy and ever-shifting beauty of the natural world. Each piece is a love note to the Earth—a gentle reminder that we are deeply connected to her.
It’s a deeply intuitive process, and I lose track of time as I follow where the materials lead. In this space, I let go of pressure and expectation. It’s just me, the materials, and a gentle sense of joy. Come be inspired by paintings rooted in memory, emotion, and the belief that we are worthy of our dreams—and the wild places that shape them.
