As an artist living on the California coast, I am inspired by the beauty of nature all around me. I am particularly interested in the ways nature “takes back” spaces that have been built up, then abandoned. I love the unique landscape of California, especially the oak woodlands of the central valley, the rocky coastlines, and native California poppies. I primarily paint in water soluble oils, and place an emphasis on movement in my style to portray the constantly shifting landscapes I see around me.
