Hello!

 

hello there

I'm inspired by the majestic landscapes of the Sierra Nevada, where my love of nature and creativity continues to grow. As a self-taught artist, I'm always learning—paying attention to the colors, shapes, and small details of California's native plants and finding new ways to share what I see. My work is an invitation to slow down, look a little closer, and appreciate the beauty that's often right in front of us.

As a fourth-generation Californian, my connection to this place runs deep. My grandfather, who spent his life printing California wildflowers, nurtured my appreciation for the natural world and the stories it holds. His influence continues to remind me that curiosity is one of the best ways to learn and create.

I believe creativity isn't something reserved for artists—it's part of being human. Whether I'm making something new or creating alongside others, I'm most interested in the joy of exploring, asking questions, making mistakes, and discovering something unexpected along the way. If my work inspires someone to notice a wildflower, pick up a paintbrush, or simply spend more time outside, then it's doing exactly what I hope it will.
