I am a contemporary representational painter, trained in classical oil painting and drawing. I studied at Laguna College of Art + Design (LCAD) in Laguna Beach, California, where I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2015. During my studies, I spent a transformative year abroad at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, completing their intensive drawing program from 2013–2014. That year shaped not only my technique, but the way I see the world.

My painting process is rooted in both these classical traditions — the plein air-inspired love for nature I cultivated at LCAD, and the reverence for detail and form I learned in Florence, where students often spent months devoted to a single piece. Together, these experiences shaped me into the passionate, intentional artist I am today.

My work is defined by vivid colors, luminous light, and realistic details — often appearing lifelike from afar and richly painterly up close. Each piece is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and feel the grounding presence of nature. My current body of work reflects my deep relationship with Mother Nature, cultivated during three years of traveling North America in my self-built RV. Through living close to the land, I discovered that “home” isn’t a place — it’s a state of being. Nature became my mirror, teacher, and muse. Every walk through the forest or along the ocean’s edge reminded me that when we come home to nature, we come home to ourselves.

I create original botanical paintings along with custom wedding bouquet paintings that transform your most meaningful flowers into heirloom works of art. These pieces are a way to preserve sacred memories — the tenderness of your wedding day, the love story blooming at its center — through the timeless medium of oil paint.

I am also the founder of Wild and Grounded, a mentorship program for creative women who are ready to root deeper into their uniqueness, find their own path, trust their natural rhythms, and create sustainable, soul-aligned lives. My mission is to help women reconnect to themselves, reclaim their feminine power and step into the fullest expression of their creativity.

Ultimately, my work — whether through painting or mentorship, creativity or sisterhood — is about devotion, remembrance, and connection. One thing I know to be true is that we are not meant to walk through life alone. We are meant to experience it together. So thank you for being here with me. I hope we get to work together soon!
