Behind the Brushstrokes
Exploring Ancestry in
"What We Carry"
From Lineage to Light
My latest work explores themes of ancestry, symbolism, and transformation. Oranges represent legacy and the gifts passed down to us. Moths symbolize the light we seek through darkness and the cycles we’re here to change. Each piece tells a story, and my hope is that it helps you reconnect with your own. Explore the art, the meaning behind it, and maybe find something that speaks to your soul. Watch the video for an overview of this series and the symbolism behind the art.

My Background
Art has always been a vital part of life; I knew from a young age that was meant to be an artist. Despite exploring various career paths, my passion for art continually drew me back. Through painting, I have discovered healing self-connection, transforming my life in the process. Though my formal training is limited my commitment to growth and exploration in my craft my excitement for the journey ahead.
My Medium
Acrylic paints are the backbone of my creative expression. I love to explore different ways to bring this medium to life. While I do use conventional artist tools such as palette knives and paintbrushes, one of my favorite ways to bring life to the canvas is through finger painting and other unconventional tools such as toothbrushes, shells, sticks, and rocks.
Additionally, you will find many adorable watercolor illustrations in my shop. I love the light and airy feeling of watercolor and the whimsical designs that can be created from it.
My Inspiration
The vast beauty of the world is my inspiration. From the gorgeous beaches to the breathtaking mountains, mother nature herself inspires me. I enjoy seeing the world through the moments of now. Basking in everything life has to offer.
My goal as a painter is to share the world's joy and beauty. I want my art to transport the viewer into a space of peace, where they can escape the stresses of the outside world and immerse themselves in the beauty and wonder of the canvas. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to embrace their creativity and find their unique path to self-expression.
