How do you define beauty? Is it something you feel? Is it how you express yourself? Is it through meaningful interpretation? For me, beauty is found in nature. I express this love through a unique style that moves beyond a landscape into a stylistic embrace of the emotion ignited by a hike, an exhale, a transient experience, or a simple moment of relaxation in a special place. Nature nurtures my appreciation for how art can move effortlessly beyond the practical into the philosophical. Life itself may be ephemeral, but capturing these fleeting encounters on canvas and pairing them with the emotions of the day is wildly satisfying.

 

I aim to express this through my art and believe there is artistry to be explored in every situation. I hope my art encourages you to search for your passion, to pursue beauty and explore its meaning in your life. 

​

I feel immensely blessed for the opportunity to explore and develop my artistic style in my studio.

Albeit small, my studio at The ArtRoom Collective at the Smiley lives large in its opportunity to express beauty and celebrate nature.​​
