Paintings for feeling more
fully alive inside your own life.
For belonging more wholly and unapologetically to yourself.
The subject of my art changes; my curiosity does not.
I paint the fodder of my life that won’t leave me alone.
Grief and joy! Flowers and places I’ve loved! People I’ve loved. Naked bodies and self-portraits! Pop culture moments. Artifacts of girlhood!
A core part of my creative process is following what’s most alive for me. I fought against this for years, thinking I should stick to one lane, but the truth is my art changes because I myself am changing.
If you too refuse to fit neatly into boxes, always growing and changing, welcome! My art is a place for belonging to yourself amid the flux of life.
I’m glad you found your way here.
You don’t need to be qualified
to invite art into your life.
You don’t need to know lots about the art world to know what artwork makes you pause and feel something.
Something that reminds you of yourself. Something you wanna keep looking at. Something that would make your home and daily life feel more like yours.
