My Story

Art is a form of healing and an expression of energy. My professional journey as an artist started as a journey to live in balance with chronic health and auto-immune conditions. 

Mindful intentionality is a central theme throughout my multidisciplinary creative expression. I am drawn to using materials for different reasons and during different seasons. My work emerges from a space of embracing the free flow of creativity, where I instinctively pursue what ignites a sense of awe and nurtures a profound connection to the sources of inspiration that breathe life into each piece. Through my process, compositions develop organically as I embrace experimentation with different media, facilitating the development of layers and intricate color relationships on both canvas and wood.

I am a self-taught artist and woodworker. I have always been drawn to the creative process of transformation and exploration to capture the fleeting moments of beauty and emotion that define landscapes. A keen perception of the transformative power of color and light to connect and inspire has shaped my artistic vision.

My upbringing was split between Australia and Florida, with time spent in the American West, Adirondacks, and Blue Ridge Mountains. As the daughter of geologists, I spent my formative years immersed in the wilderness, camping, and exploring. Countless hours were spent gazing out of car and plane windows or up at the night sky, learning to decipher the language of landscapes and becoming enthralled by the intricacies of topography. I forged a bond with the earth, playing with rocks and meticulously observing the world around me, always attuned to the elements that ignited a profound sense of wonder.

My grandma introduced me to the world of flowers, while my father, grandpa, and great-uncle imparted the art of working with wood. My mother instilled in me the understanding that color and play are the essential cornerstones of creating.
