About The Artist
My artistry finds expression in the meticulous detailing of buildings, interiors, furniture, and places both real and imagined, weaving together threads of figurative and modern abstract work with illustrative, fantastical imaginings. At the heart of my creations is a profound appreciation for biophilic design, botanicals, abstract compositions, modern art, and the rich tapestry of art and architectural history. Through my drawings, I seek not just to depict, but to convey ideas, explore relationships, and invite viewers into dream worlds crafted from the depths of imagination.
The spectrum of my inspirations is broad and diverse, drawing from the well of creativity offered by artists like Klee, Rothko, Frida Kahlo, Mapplethorpe, Hilma AF Klint, Blossfeldt, Annie Lebowitz, Jasper John, Maira Kalman, Martin Puryear, and Cecil Touchon. Their work challenges me to explore the boundaries of my own creativity, pushing me to blend elements of music, poetry, and dance into a unique artistic language that is distinctly my own.
My journey is one of continual exploration and discovery, where each piece serves as a dialogue between my inner world and the external influences that shape it. I strive to create art that resonates on a deeply personal level, inviting viewers to embark on a journey that transcends the visual, to explore the realms of emotion and imagination that lie beneath. In this ever-evolving journey, I am committed to pushing the boundaries of my creative expression, ever inspired by the world around me and the inexhaustible potential within.
Drawing from a rich academic background with a Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley, majoring in Architecture, and further honing my skills through fine art classes at SF City College at Fort Mason, alongside online courses and local workshops at the Industrial Center Building (ICB) Artist Collective in Sausalito, I am an artist deeply rooted in the landscapes of California, with my origins in Illinois. Now residing in Larkspur, California, my work is a vibrant tapestry of my experiences and the myriad influences I draw upon.
