My art philosophy

The art world can be a bit daunting to navigate as an artist and as a collector. Art, to me, is a universal language that has the power to bring people together, no matter where you come from. It stirs emotions, and through those emotions—whether it's joy, sadness, or something in between—we either connect or disconnect with one another. The goal is for my work to resonate with you, the collector, on a deeper level. I want it to make you feel instead of be representational. That's the beauty of abstract art! I want it to spark a connection within you and also open you up to the perspectives of those around you that may be different than your own.

I’ve always been drawn to a sense of opulence and bring that in my work that feels luxurious and timeless. For me, creating art is a constant exploration of the world—I see art in everything. Through my use of different mediums, textures, and styles, I aim to contribute to the world in a way that celebrates its rich diversity. You'll see strong themes such as feminism, birth, motherhood, advocacy, aging that fight against the injustices that women and the LGBTQIA+ face in some of my pieces, but not all of them. Art doesn’t always need to have a profound meaning behind it though—sometimes, it’s simply about having fun and enjoying the process!

  • Description of my art

    I work with a variety of mediums from acrylic, house paint, alcohol ink, nothing is off limits. It can range from fun, bright, and abstract to fluid, organic, and luxurious. I often incorporate metallic paints or leaf to add dimension and shine. Texture and collage are also elements in my work, bringing depth and visual interest to each piece.

    My art spans a wide range of styles—from sleek minimalist, Art Deco, sculptural, playful and full color, bright to dark and moody, full of depth and emotion. I create intuitively, allowing my emotions and energy on any given day to guide me.

    In addition to my personal studio pieces, I collaborate with collectors and local businesses to design and install abstract murals in homes and commercial spaces. You might have already spotted my work in a coffee shop or photography studio around town!
