I seek to bring the beauty of the outside world into our personal spaces. I like to capture moments of fragility and resilience and strip away everything extraneous. Then I use color and composition to compose a new tableau that might remind us of those fleeting moments in our daily lives.
About me
My art reflects the cycles of life and the resilience of Southern California’s flora, particularly plants that symbolize growth and reproduction, echoing my own personal journey. Inspired by the colors, forms, and symbols in this challenging environment, I translate my observations into artworks that convey the fragility and strength of life. I aim to bring the beauty of the outside world into our homes, encouraging viewers to reflect on their relationship with nature and find comfort, inspiration, and growth.
