I specialize in contemporary figurative watercolor paintings. My inspiration come from rich experiences in dance, mindfulness practices, world travels, and a drive to learn and explore.

 

ART AS DANCE

​

Some musicians say that they see music in color. I see art as a three-dimensional dance with layers and elements flowing in front and behind one another in a surreal motion. The border in some pieces reveals a story that is drawn out of me as I sketch. No matter the subject, all my work carries intertwining layers, translucence, and movement. 

​

CHOICE  AND VISION

​

Sharing intuitive and skillful imagination is my focus. Making people feel more alive through my visions feeds my curiosity to step forward each day into something new. I am so fortunate to have the ability to put what is in my heart onto paper and then to share it with the world.

​

SMALL TOWN GIRL

​

Growing up in rural Idaho and its open spaces I had the opportunity to create dreams of what the world had to offer. Because I was always curious, beginning in college I traveled and explored places where creatives gather; Laguna, Hawaii, Paris, San Diego, Phoenix, and now San Francisco. I believe we are a culmination of our collective experiences. While this small town girl loves where she came from, she also looks forward to meeting new friends from diverse backgrounds and being inspired by travel and the cultures I am exposed to. 

​

WHERE I AM NOW

​

I am excited to be here in the San Francisco Bay Area working with diverse people who value the creative process and are supportive of artists. This melting pot of people and cultures are the seeds of my creativity, motivating me to push boundaries that bring people together in their love of art. 

​

MEDIUM AND STYLE

​

Primarily a watercolorist, I work in a variety of subject matter. My current set of series includes Speaking Rock (desert), Images of Me (dance), and Hanging on a Wave (ocean). With each painting, when I release control, and allow intuition to take over, a flowing movement that is uniquely ME emerges in the most free and surprising way. The dance that I do with my art IS my happy place.

IS YOUR HOME 'ART HEALTHY'?

​

What kind of art makes YOU smile? Do you fill your space with pieces that reflect your personality and makes you happy? Art in the home can be a mood booster, and even heart healthy if you love what you see. It is a scientific fact that color can be calming or inspiring. If you are looking for paintings that are bright, fun, unique, and show energetic movement, please take a look at my GALLERY. You can also CONTACT ME with your COMMISSION ideas.
