I am a self-taught professional artist born and raised in Kansas City. I view my work as a sanctuary for joyful expression—a place to embrace chaos and follow curiosity. Drawn to the wild and imperfect beauty of nature, I integrate organic elements into every piece, whether that be letting the grain of wood guide my landscapes or painting wildflowers with watercolors made of soil. While I may present outwardly as a cynical Lydia Deetz type, inside there is a wonderstruck little girl just dying to color on the walls. Through my art, I seek to capture that unfiltered joy—creating pieces that invite a sense of play, nostalgia, and dreamlike escape.
