I was born in Goleta on the California coast in the spring of 1990. My family moved when I was three to Miranda, a small town at the heart of the redwood forests of northern California where the powerful presence of nature left a quick and everlasting impression.

The youngest in a creative family, I was inspired to draw as soon as i could lift a crayon. Always bursting with creative energy I sought out many artistic ways to express myself including writing and acting. While throughout my school years I excelled in art classes and won small competitions it was not enough to encourage me to pursue it as a career. I attended Humboldt State University without taking a single art class. 

 Life took an unexpected turn when I became a mother at the age of twenty. With few perceivable options I decided to drop out of college. It was during this time as a stay-at-home mom that i returned to drawing as a creative outlet and I soon began getting requests for commissioned work.  

 Years later, a single mother of three, working as a teacher’s aide, I began experimenting with a then unfamiliar medium; acrylic paint. During the pandemic of 2020 I was laid off from my job and with the positive responses i was receiving from my paintings, I was encouraged to take a leap of faith with a full-time art career.

Having always been a socially awkward introvert, through my art I am able to relate and interact with the world and my community in a way I never have before. I am driven by a desire to advocate for the environment and encourage people to examine their own spiritual bonds with nature.

Today I reside in southern Oregon with my husband and children and create my art in a modest home studio. With the support and encouragement of my family, friends and fans, I continue to grow my business, hone my artistic skills, and share my work online and at public events.
