Raised in Sonoma, California, I grew up immersed in both sports and art. Much of my childhood was spent swimming and running through Northern California's landscapes. During long hours of backstroke, I would stare at the clouds overhead, imagining figures and shapes emerging from them and while running cross country, I became captivated by the oak trees, vineyards, and rolling hills that surrounded me. Those early experiences shaped how I see a place over time and how that translates into artwork.

​

While studying Fashion Design with a focus on materiality at Parsons, I explored a wide range of creative disciplines, from textile experimentation and three dimensional design to visual storytelling. During that time, painting emerged as an essential part of my practice, offering a more intuitive and personal way to explore color, form, and emotion. My work is influenced by both the natural world and the built environment.

​

Drawing from backgrounds in fashion, design, and fine art, I create paintings that balance structure with spontaneity. Through layers of color, texture, and composition, I seek to evoke a sense of place and create moments of reflection & calmness.

​

Alongside my painting practice, I work as a textile designer at Serena & Lily and collaborate with a Sonoma based interior design firm, creating floor plans and staging homes prior to market. These experiences continue to inform my understanding of color, composition, materiality, and the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit.

Outside the studio & office, I enjoy running, swimming, cycling, cooking and spending time with friends and family.
