I’m a Bay Area mixed media painter inspired by nature, dreams, and the creative flow that guides my process.

My work is abstract and intuitive—each piece a reflection of something sacred, personal, and universal. I never quite know where a painting will lead, but that’s the beauty of it. Painting has always been my natural calling, allowing me to express what words can’t.

In Plain Sight

If you’ve been following along with my recent reels on sanding and image transfers, here’s a look at the finished painting!

Sometimes it’s what you don’t see that makes you look a little closer.

Bold fields of gold and green reveal an unexpected glimpse of a face, partially concealed but right there in plain sight.

I love exploring what is revealed and what remains hidden. The layers, textures, and imperfections invite a second look and a different interpretation each time.

Sometimes a fragment is enough to tell a story.

Last week, I shared the process of sanding these canvases down. Now for the next step: image transfer.
Here’s a look at how I transfer an image onto the prepared surface and begin building the next layer of the work. I love sharing these in-between stages, when the piece is still changing and the final direction isn’t completely decided.

Part 2 of the process.

More experimenting in the studio. A few new pieces, new ideas, and lots of playing with where this technique can go. I’m enjoying letting these evolve without knowing exactly where they’ll end up.

Sold.
This painting of my daughter has gone to a home with three daughters of its own. I couldn’t have wished for a better place for her.

Trying out a new technique in the studio and seeing where it takes me. I’m liking the direction so far and curious to see how it finds its way into future work.
