I paint my best work when my mood and spirit are uplifted and happy. In the way that art gives me joy, Earth’s beauty can move me in the same manner. I love and appreciate gorgeous sunsets, bright colorful gardens and soothing tranquil oceans. Nature is my inspiration and I like to incorporate how it makes me feel, into my portraits, to amplify the beauty of the women that I paint. I like to add to my work the things that bring me mindfulness and peacefulness, making my portraits all the more special to me.
My studio is based in Los Angeles, CA where I am currently working on my next projects. California’s beautiful locations and weather have also inspired my paintings in many ways. In 2016, I graduated from California State University Northridge and earned my BA in Fine Arts with an emphasis in oil painting. After the completion of my degree, my paintings were presented and well received at multiple community art shows in Tarzana and Northridge, including a show for a private residence in San Fernando.
I was delighted when Turning Point Magazine and Hello Icon Magazine featured my artwork in a couple of their publications!
