“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.”
- Bill Moyers
I am an artist, storyteller, and lifelong learner whose work celebrates the beauty of connection to places, memories, or time spent with people dear to us. My creative journey began in college while studying architecture, where I developed a fascination with intricate details, thoughtful design, and the way spaces impact our lives. That passion deepened while working in interior design, and later expanded even further when I lived overseas, immersing myself in my new host culture and international travel that continues to inspire my work today.
I have been fortunate to call many places “home,” each one adding its own colors, textures, and patterns to the tapestry of my life. These experiences, layered together, form the foundation of my artwork, pieces that honor the past, enrich the present, and become part of your story in the future.
As a collector myself, I understand the joy of curating meaningful treasures. My own keepsakes, whether my beloved coffee mug collection or mementos tied to a particular moment in my life, remind me daily of the countless places and people that have shaped me. I approach my art in the same way. Each piece is created with the intention of holding memory, meaning, and beauty for years to come.
I am also an enthusiastic student of art itself, shaped by countless hours in museums across the world and conversations with fellow artists. I love contemplating a work, imagining its story, and connecting with its creator. That same dialogue is what I hope to foster through my own work inviting you, the collector, into a shared experience that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Whether you are beginning your journey as an art collector or adding to a well-loved collection, I believe the right piece has the power to transform not only a space but also the way you connect with your own story. My hope is that my work will inspire you to explore the world of collecting and building a personal gallery that reflects who you are and what you value most.
When you collect my art, you are not just acquiring a visual piece, but you are bringing home a story. A story of movement, memory, curiosity, and connection… one that will continue to unfold in your space for years to come.
