Inspired by the vivid beauty of my home in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, by the senses ; both the human and non-human centered parts of being alive. By art, literature, history, music, and the emotional entanglements of being.  

My work explores individual and collective physical experiences, alongside the swirling, evolving, and contradictory emotional aspects of moving through this life, and living in a world full of both the grotesque and the beautiful.                                             

Most of my work conjures the darkness that lives in us as humans, as we are surrounded and nurtured by the natural world, that which holds us and promises us nothing. How can we transform pain, isolation, sickness, longing, endless spiraling into a thing of significance—visually? 

I dream a lot.

I have had writing published in various online publications, some of which can be found here.

My adult coloring book, The Stoner Babes (Microcosm, 2018) has gone into 4 printings and is sold worldwide is a meditative, art-filled adult coloring book inspired by the beauty of women and gender fluid people who savor the medicinal and transcendental qualities of the cannabis plant. 

I recently collaborated with the Corporeal Writing Squad in creating the Corporeal Oracles Deck, with 52 paintings by myself of the individual cards, tin and card back art by Lidia Yuknavitch, and guide book by the spectcularly talented entire squad.

Furthermore and pastly, I spent over a decade as a custom clothier bringing to life art through cloth for individual humans including, gowns, dresses, suits, childrens’ wear and femme ready to wear garments. My life as a fashion designer was a beloved time, but the paintbrush and canvases called to me and I haven’t looked back since I left the fabric store. Although, I do occasionally make pieces for myself and loved ones.
