My work lives in the space between the real and the imagined place I call the rabbit whole. It is a world rooted in nature and emotion, where each piece invites you to slow down, feel something deeper, and reconnect with your own sense of wonder.
As an artist, I am drawn to the softness of animals, the glow of unseen paths, the feeling that something meaningful exists just beyond what we can't explain. Through my paintings, I explore intuition, transformation, and connection to ourselves and to the natural world.
My style blends dreamlike quality, often enhanced with glowing light, rich color, and subtle symbolism. Some pieces are a portal to something more whimsical and mysterious. In most my pieces animals are present and I believe symbolically they carry strengths that can guide us through heavy emotions and uncertainty.
Beyond canvas, my work extends into face painting where my art becomes a shared, living experience. I create not just designs, but small transformations that spark confidence, imagination, and joy.
After graduating in 2010, I found myself drawn not outward into the great wide world, but inward toward a quieter, more personal path. I gravitated toward my paintbrush as a way to slow down, reflect, and begin understanding who I truly am.
What started as a need for solitude became an ongoing journey of self-discovery. From the first moment I face a blank canvas to the final details of a finished piece, each painting reveals something new — my thoughts, my emotions, and my innermost desires. Through this process, I continue to learn, grow, and reconnect with myself.
I was born and raised in Placerville, California, where I still live and create today. You can often find me face painting and sharing my art at local farmers markets, concerts, and seasonal events — bringing creativity, color, and a bit of magic into the community that shaped me.
