About Me
My Story
I grew up on the Central Coast of California surrounded by beautiful landscapes and wildlife. As a child I loved drawing horses on napkins for waitresses at restaurants and colored on everything. I spent most my time drawing until I found painting while in college. There, on a study abroad trip to Paris and London we studied photography. Having this medium has greatly influenced my creativity and artworks.
At 18 I was commissioned to paint my first mural. An exterior mural, 40'x9' on the side of a house in Santa Maria, CA. Since then, mural painting is my favorite! My other love is hiking with my dog Roscoe and taking pictures for ideas to use in my artwork. In 2018 our little family moved to the Front Range of Northern Colorado and I'm in LOVE! Perfect for Photography and Art!
My Medium
I use many different mediums including acrylics, oil paints with textural ingredients. All paintings are made using professional grade materials. Soon I hope to have space to create more and use incorporate different materials including welding and sculpture.
My Inspiration
A painting should speak to a person through color and composition. Creating emotion from the viewer's own unique experience. My artworks show my love of light, nature, animals and dreams.
I have been asked many times, "what inspires you?" My inspirations come from surrounding landscapes, hikes or adventures. My work is distinctive because of bold vibrant colors, shading and most of all detail.
