About: From my studio in the Pacific Northwest, I create abstract art that explores the layered stories we all carry—the moments, seasons, and memories that shape who we are. I’m endlessly inspired by the beauty of what’s weathered and worn: the patina of old buildings, flowers just past their peak, cobblestone streets, and peeling broadsheets. These things remind me that nothing is static—everything holds a history, a before. My work is an attempt to capture that sense of time, transformation, and depth.Through bold movement, layered texture, and vibrant color, I aim to evoke emotion rather than deliver a literal message. My paintings are rooted in lived experience and are shaped by a deep desire to connect—inviting empathy, compassion, and sometimes, a quiet call to action.
