I am a world builder. Fueled by my imagination and curiosity, I explore human connection with the natural world. I combine the fluidity of watercolor paint with a variety of mediums. Through layering and deconstructing shapes and colors, I render whimsical landscapes and creatures both real and imaginary. These expressions are manifestations of my daydreams and unconscious thought; safe places I choose to share and occupy.
Bio
As a young kid, my grandfather often turned me loose in his makeshift basement studio filled with beautifully organized oil paints, sharp pencils, and all manner of surfaces to create upon. He was keen to find forms and faces within natural materials and everyday objects and shared this magical way of seeing the world with me (did you know there’s a name for this? pareidolia!).
Although I am an art school dropout, I have never stopped seeking to learn/experiment/explore/create.
Inspiration finds me while pedaling or hiking through the woods, driving alone blaring tunes, shampooing my hair during a groggy morning shower, and existing in this world as a woman and as a mother.
Forever taking notes and making marks, this is how I move though our world.
