BIO
Having displayed my work at a multitude of successful exhibitions and fine art shows, I am an emerging artist who is a muse for Nature, interpreting her everlasting beauty in unexpected ways through painting, illustration, and printmaking techniques. Observations and meditations of the outer and inner worlds inspire my muse. I explore these ideas with my many mediums, experimenting with the combination of them all. The focus of my work is to become a voice for nature, inspiring respect and reciprocity, while bringing colorful artworks and true connection into people’s lives.
