At the heart of my work is a distinctly female relationship to breathing landscapes—one not driven by domination, but by connection, intuition, and witnessing.

The woman is there. The fish is there. And between them, an offering of beauty.

commissioned pieces

I create commissioned paintings that explore the connection between the female form, creatures, and the terrain that holds them—a reflection of memory, spirit, and place. Each piece places the body in conversation with the natural world—coastlines, canyons, forests, and blooms—resulting in work that feels intimate, expansive, and grounded.

I draw deep artistic fulfillment from shared inspiration. Whether for a private home, boutique hotel, wellness retreat, or community space, we’ll work together to develop a color palette drawn from your surroundings and a composition anchored in story.

Commissioning a piece with me is designed to be intentional and collaborative. We’ll begin with a conversation, move into sketches and color studies, and I’ll share progress updates as the work evolves.
