Art Making

Transforming the Barren to the Beautiful

VIEW THE COLLECTIONS

Finding beauty in all its forms to be part of another's unique expression.

To expand outside one's own world, and celebrate the expression of life and passion.

Diverse and sometimes contradictory parts come together, striving for harmony, unity, and a sense of belonging.

Envisioning a Brighter Future

Art's highest purpose is its ability to communicate something of value and truly touch another. To expand outside one's own world, and celebrate the expression of life and passion, is a gift.

It's a delicate balance between control and release, between intention and serendipity.

Exploration

Freedom comes from a willingness to explore the unknown. It's a delicate balance between control and release, between intention and serendipity. This is where the magic happens.

Organic Flow

This is where the magic happens, where true art is born—not from a place of rigid perfection, but from an openness to imperfection and possibility.

Reflection

Each painting emerges as a reflection, from the beautiful to the turbulent and disordered. Layer after layer through worlds of vibrant colors, and with nods to my roots, I reflect my experience in this world.

The Revelation

Seemingly chaotic work can transform into something meaningful and beautiful. I delicately separate the layer from the support, unveiling a natural duality. The top is bold, with a sense of chaos, yet harmonizes through the nature of its creation.

Expression

Countless starts, stops and failures, become stepping stones to growth. It’s a journey of constant evolution, of finding my voice and then losing it again, only to rediscover it in new and unexpected ways.

To wander is to feel alive, to be in a constant state of discovery, and to light up when experiencing something new.

Exploring and delving deep into the endless ways I can express myself and communicate.

Sustainable Studio

Each piece is one of a kind, created in my small Colorado studio that prioritizes ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, resource efficiency, biodegradable packaging, along with craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Art Leads the Way

To deconstruct the whole, pick up the pieces, and put them together again is to take a leap of faith and believe in redemption. Change is scary, but discarding things that no longer serve you is necessary for growth.
