I am an artist and architectural designer currently based in Portland, Oregon. I have always had an affinity for the arts, from exploring graphite and charcoal realism at a young age, to studying architecture at the University of Oregon. I am currently exploring the intricacies of oil painting, while maintaining my love for watercolor, charcoal, and ink.

I am completely fascinated by color interactions, how they blend and layer, how they hold tension, how they ease into the other. I love walking the line between the groundedness of human form and the chaos of abstraction. I love painting things I am not originally comfortable with, in ways that I have not yet attempted. I strive to understand how to paint motion, human expression, and feeling. I love leaving my pieces up for interpretation, so my art becomes a conversation between the viewer's experiences and the paint.

This art is a physical expression of my curiosities, of my attempts, of spontaneity, of second guessing, of tension and flow. May they incite emotion and exploration within you, as they have for me.
