About the Artist
I create paintings and illustrations in watercolor, gouache, and acrylics. I am inspired by nature, and my art includes images of animals, botanicals and landscapes. By using whimsical, loose marks and bright colors, my art focuses on expressing a child-like wonder for the natural world and highlights the energy and emotion of each scene. For me, painting is a practice of presence and a way to convey my feelings about the world’s simple beauty. Even if I’m painting an endangered species or an odd character, I hope the viewer will smile and see that in the midst of our world’s chaos and darkness, a brightness shines through all things.
