A smiling woman in a grey t-shirt with paint stains stands in front of a wall displaying various colorful paintings.

Based in the heart of Manhattan Beach, my art is inspired by the vibe of coastal living. I create by layering color and texture, allowing each piece to evolve intuitively. As I add and subtract elements, figures and stories gradually emerge, revealing themselves in unexpected ways. For me, the process is just as significant as the final artwork—it's a journey of exploration and discovery, filled with moments of surprise and growth. Each brushstroke reflects my connection to the world around me and my desire to share that energy with others, inviting viewers to find their own stories within the layers.
