Painter, ballerina, scientist, adventurer, healer. Here to experience life in its fullest capacity.

I grew up a ballerina, and dance was my main form of art from ages 8-17. Scared to even attempt my dream of being a professional dancer, I quit ballet and attended The University of Texas at Austin, where I received a bachelors of science and arts in biology with a business minor. I am so grateful to have had such a strong education where I learned so much about life from a scientific perspective. I especially adored plant biology, and learning about plant intelligence.

A very large piece of me was unfulfilled though, and unhappy. I needed to be creating. During a time of grief in my life around 2019-2020, I turned to art to find healing. And it brought me just that. Art has healed my soul from so much pain and suffering. I feel that creation is intertwined with my spiritual purpose in this life.

In addition to creating visual art, I also play the ukulele. Some of my favorite ways to spend my time are painting (especially plein air), listening to music, camping, being outdoors, and spending time with people I love.

A new passion of mine is farming and connecting with the earth. I currently work on an organic farm and it has inspired me to incorporate what I learn into my creation.

I feel called to travel and meet as many people as I can, and share my love for art with everyone I meet. I dream of one day opening an art therapy mental wellness retreat center to help heal others. I envision it being self sustained with its own farm, as well as solar power and rainwater catchment.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about purchasing any of my work, prints of my art, or commissioning anything from me. Love and light to you!
