My Journey

I’ve been surrounded by art for as long as I can remember, beginning with my older brother. Watching him create first inspired me to pick up a pencil, and that spark stayed with me throughout my life.

Growing up in Birch Bay, Washington, I spent much of my childhood exploring the shoreline in search of small treasures left behind by the tide — sand dollars, hermit crabs, starfish, and anything else hidden beneath the surface. I was drawn to the movement of the ocean, the quiet beauty of marine life, and the feeling of walking endlessly along the shore as the tide rolled out around me.

I later went on to study the technical side of art at Western Washington University, where I earned my degree in Studio Art.

Today, I work from my cozy home studio in the Pacific Northwest, creating watercolor paintings inspired by coastal life, ocean movement, and the quiet magic I’ve always felt near the sea.

Watercolor Passion

I love capturing the fluidity and softness of watercolor in every piece.
