About the Artist

"Self Portrait in a Mask" Pen and sharpie on paper, 2020. 

I remember the first sketchbook I filled in its entirety. The paper was various shades of blacks and browns and I drew with a white colored pencil. That weekend, a snow-storm had stranded my family in Utah, so I drew the fantastic rock formations and landscapes around me. Natural landscapes continue to inspire my work. I have 10 years of academic training as an artist in a variety of subjects and mediums. 

An original work of art based on this idea, named, “Egyptian Burial Boat” was my first painting sold. 

"Egyptian Burial Boat " Acrylic Paint and patterned paper on canvas,  2016

My work considers the tension between expectations and reality.
