I was born and raised in the Sierra Foothills and I’ve been drawing and painting

since I was a child. Art is a refuge for expressing my emotions and a means of capturing the beauty I find around me. 



My work reflects my wonder and fascination with nature and animals; they are 

an endless source of inspiration. Painting another living being is an opportunity

to take a step back and carefully observe and document the details that make

up an individual. 

 

I strive to work with and collaborate with my clients to make each portrait unique. With the use of vibrant, rich colors, we will capture the essence and soul of our subject together.

​

The mediums I work with are oil paints on canvas, acrylic paints on canvas,

mixed media and charcoal and pencil on paper.
