Original paintings inspired by nature, gardens, and the quiet beauty of everyday moments.

Painting is where I slow down.

While my professional work focuses on helping organizations grow and connect with their communities, my studio practice is a chance to explore color, texture, and the landscapes that inspire me, from blooming gardens and California hillsides to the small moments of joy that often go unnoticed.

Every painting is an invitation to pause, look closely, and find beauty in the everyday.

I've always believed creativity isn't something we turn on and off. The same curiosity that shapes my work with museums and nonprofits also finds its way into my paintings.

I paint because it reminds me to observe, to notice changing light, unexpected color, and the details that make a place feel alive. Many of my pieces are inspired by botanical gardens, neighborhood walks, and the changing seasons.

My hope is that each painting brings a little more warmth, curiosity, and connection into the spaces where it lives.
