About Me
Delighted by Nature
I am deeply inspired by time spent exploring the landscapes of the Lost Sierra and beyond. By the quiet magic of alpine mornings, the rhythm of hiking trails, the stillness of snow-covered forests, and the vastness of open sky. Moving through these spaces brings me back to myself.
Nature reminds me that beauty does not rush. It layers, erodes, blooms, and rebuilds. This sense of patience and organic movement is central to my work, shaping how I approach texture, mark-making, color, and scale.
Inspired to Share with Others
My background as an art educator continues to shape my practice and approach to community engagement. I spent several years teaching art in both classroom and workshop settings, developing a deep appreciation for how creativity builds confidence, connection, and self-expression.
Today, I carry that work forward by hosting classes and creative experiences at Wild Pines, as well as partnering with local organizations to offer accessible, community-centered programming. These gatherings are designed to invite people of all skill levels into the creative process, encouraging exploration, play, and a deeper connection to both art and place.
Community Driven
My practice is also deeply influenced by community. I am continually inspired by other artists. By the countless ways creatives interpret the world through their chosen mediums. Whether working with clay, paint, or flowers, each perspective offers a new way of seeing and understanding.
I believe the world becomes more vibrant and generous when people share what they create. When artists bring their work forward—imperfect, evolving, and honest—they create space for others to do the same.
