About Me
Hello! I am a Chicago-based artist creating nature-inspired wonders in water-based mediums.
2020 reignited my passion for watercolor, and not long after, I discovered gouache. Nothing makes me happier than painting... other than traversing the outdoors.
Nature is my primary inspiration and I love being outside. An explorer at heart, I paint and photograph en plein air and use these references in studio work.
I enjoy supporting nature conservation and mental well-being through my art.
I'm so glad you're here!
My Latest Work
The above works are part of an exciting new series in development, titled "Sequoia Sanctuaries."
This series explores the sublime sense of peace and tranquility that I experience in forests,
and honors the sacred roles that trees play in our environments and ecosystems.
“If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” - Edward Hopper
In the ethereal landscapes and botanical portraits that I create with watercolor and gouache, I embark on a journey that is meant to transcend, to invite a momentary escape from daily life.
Each brushstroke, an exploration of the dance between vibrant hues of nature and the responses they evoke within a viewer.
Each painting, a balance between detail and expressiveness, luminescence and shadow.
