​My Process
When it comes to painting, I'm self-taught.
My artwork is less about creating a beautiful piece of art and more about focusing on the process,
intuition, and archetypal expression. A piece is usually finished not when it looks "good," but when the energy of the inquiry feels resolved. This is often described as a meditative or "flow" state where the painting "speaks" back to the artist. I love to paint to specific songs; many feminine archetypes come through, representing various facets of feminine energy, strength, and mythology. I sit with the finished image and allow the archetype to narrate its needs or messages. Creativity becomes the pathway to the expression of inner feelings, leading to a process of self-discovery and understanding. I work with acrylic paints, inks, oil sticks and recycled canvases.

​On Another Note​
I'm a hiker and feel blessed living on the California Central Coast.
