Life can be very hard, so I try to add a splash of color and
whimsy by imagining my own fantastical worlds and beings, exploring the duality
between fantasy and reality, light and darkness, life and death, expressing
emotion, and reimagining nature. I create fantastical creatures and surreal
landscapes using acrylic on canvas as my main choice of medium. I love a
colorful palette, and creating different textures so much that in some pieces,
I often manipulate acrylic mediums, sew raw canvas, include 3dimensional
elements such as fabric to elevate the painting experience to bring my
fantastical worlds even more to life.
I grew up in Angels Camp, California. I found my love for
art at Columbia Community college during the most difficult time in my personal
life. Art became a life-raft; I found comfort, escape, therapy, and a creative
outlet. Art allows me to express myself. I am a local artist with a fresh and
unique colorful perspective. I earned my BFA from the San Francisco Art
Institute in 2016. My artwork has been shown at the Calaveras County Arts
Council, Ironstone Vineyards, Crafty Chicks Road Show, Manzanita Arts Emporium
in Angels Camp, and at the Calaveras County Fair. I also serve as a Board
member for the Calaveras Arts Council.
Lost within my own darkness I find the colors of expression
and joy when I paint. My art is an invitation into my world, welcome.
