A few years ago, I started exploring pastels through online classes, which sparked my journey into visual art. As my interest grew, I took classes to deepen my skills and understanding of painting, and in the process, discovered a deeper creative voice.

Now living in Sonoma, I'm constantly inspired by the region’s peaceful, welcoming atmosphere and the natural beauty that surrounds me—gatherings over wine and cheese with loved ones, the quiet elegance of blooming flowers, the charm of animals, and the serenity of the landscape.

My work is representational, using vibrant color and expressive form to capture the essence of a moment or feeling. With each painting, I aim to invite viewers to pause, look closely, and appreciate the richness woven into everyday life.
