In a loud, rushed, constantly moving culture, I create art for people to slow down and breathe. My work invites stillness, reflection, warmth, and emotional grounding. Every painting begins with a place I’ve personally stood.

I am a California native, born and raised, deeply influenced by the state’s open skies, shifting light, coastal air, and quiet backroads. I am endlessly drawn to landscapes and to the way light transforms ordinary moments into something quietly extraordinary. A quiet street. A stretch of water. A glowing sky. A familiar corner most people might pass without noticing. These are the spaces that stay with me.

I photograph these moments as I travel and move through the world, then reinterpret them in acrylic, softening edges, heightening light, and allowing the atmosphere to breathe, capturing not just how a place looks, but how it feels.

My paintings are rooted in real locations, but they live as gentle memories. They are meant to offer calm, comfort, and a sense of emotional grounding, small visual pauses that invite you to linger, exhale, and feel at home within the image.

These are real places, painted as quiet memory.
