Statement
My inspirations are rooted in dreams, folk tales, indie music and outsider arts. At the core of both my art and my life is the belief that every living being, no matter how different, shares similar and relatable needs and feelings. I paint moments of ordinary life, infused with found magic, to build narratives about connecting with our spaces and each other.
Dividing my time between studios in Ventura, Los Angeles, and New Jersey, the diverse people, animals, and landscapes I encounter along the way become central characters in my broader, composite mythology.
