Artist Statement

I paint with an intentional, whimsical narrative in an effort to recapture a lost sense of fun. I hope to share joy through my art. Working in a variety of mediums and techniques offers me the chance to challenge and improve my skills.

Retaining our imagination and sense of play helps us remember the amazing worlds we created from within the innocence of our childhood. Paintings are stories to be explored and shared.

Use my bold, bright, vibrant paintings to wake up the senses and help bring your unique personality into your space.
