“My work is heavily inspired by the natural world around me; the subtle shifts of color in an evening sky or the intricate pattern of sunlight peeking through the leaves of a towering elm tree. My process is thoughtful and patient, losing my sense of time and other stressors as I attempt to submerge myself into the detail of the work.
When I’m there, I find it to be like the warmth of freshly washed sheets on a rainy morning; welcoming and impossible not to love.”

She likes to play beach volleyball to remind her of her home in Florida and dreams of one day landing a clean kickflip.
