My art is an exploration of color, texture, and creative expression inspired by the beauty, details, and unexpected moments of everyday life. Working across styles from realistic to abstract, I create original mixed-media artwork that invites curiosity and sparks the imagination.

Whether a piece draws you in through its colors, its textures, or simply the way it makes you feel, I believe there is room for everyone to find something meaningful in art.

As a member artist of the Riverside Community Arts Association (RCAA) in Riverside, California, some of my original artwork is exhibited alongside the work of other local artists. The RCAA is a nonprofit artist-membership organization that supports local artists through exhibitions, artwork sales, and opportunities to connect with the community.

About the Artist

I’m a self-taught, mixed-media artist based in Menifee, Southern California. My inspiration comes from many places including the natural world, the colors and patterns of everyday life, and the details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Having grown up surrounded by nature, I continue to find peace and wonder in its changing landscapes, shifting light, rich textures, and sensory details. These experiences feed my imagination, while my curiosity leads me to explore subjects and ideas beyond the natural world.

As an artist, I’m committed to continually learning and growing. Through online courses and art community programs, I expand my knowledge, develop my artistic abilities, and connect with fellow artists. Experimentation and curiosity guide my practice, allowing my work to evolve across subjects, styles and techniques.

Water-soluble media are a particular favorite for their versatility, ease of use, and alignment with my health and environmental values. Exploring their possibilities is one of the many ways I continue to discover new approaches to expressing my ideas through art.

Creating with Care

Thoughtfulness extends beyond my artwork to the choices I make in the studio. Whenever possible, I strive to use less toxic art materials, taking available safety information into account as I select materials and guide my creative practices. Using archival-quality materials whenever available is also a priority, with the goal of creating artwork that can be enjoyed for years to come.

I also consider the environmental impact of preparing and shipping my work. By using packaging and brand materials from EcoEnclose, I aim to make more environmentally conscious choices when sending artwork to its new home. For me, creating with care means paying attention not only to the finished piece, but also to the materials and decisions involved in bringing it into the world.
