Artwork inspired by the connection between the Outer Landscape and One’s Inner Spirit
If my artwork could speak, it would want you to understand that each piece and I have shared a journey.
We’ve laughed, cried, walked away from each other, come back, started over, and ultimately found acceptance.
Each piece holds a key to my heart, and its authenticity lies in how it resonates with you.
about me
i am a professional architect and self-taught artist. I started my art journey with watercolor renderings for my architectural portfolio , but in recent years my work has centred around landscape painting and more specifically using heated pigmented wax (encaustic) as my preferred medium. As a recovering people-pleaser and perfectionist, I have embraced creating imperfect, multi-layered pieces that each tell their own backstory, scars, blemishes, moments of joy, and, in the right light, reveal their authentic selves and stories.
My artwork is inspired by the connection between the Outer Landscape and one’s Inner Spirit. Sunlight peeking through a storm cloud, a dark sky contrasting with the glow of green leaves on the trees, whitecaps on a churned-up bay, dark and light... we all carry it inside us. My artwork aims to capture that dichotomy.
i am also a wife, mom to two active children, and a uscg boat captain.

Their layers remind us how far we have traveled.
And through them, we understand how much more is left to be experienced.
