I have been creating art for over a decade now. My artistic journey began in 2011 with film and digital photography, capturing quiet scenes in nature and portraits. For many years, I pursued writing and poetry, filling thousands of pages with internal discussion and observation. Journal pages became filled with sketches and drawings, leading me to begin my work with acrylic paint. I am a self taught artist and began painting in 2018 as a personal process to explore my emotional experience. In early 2023, I was gifted my mothers sewing machine and quickly fell in love with textile arts. For me, creativity is inseparable from emotional processing and analysis. Like emotional states, creativity is fluid, familiar, and curious in nature.
I have had the pleasure of displaying and selling my work around Colorado in fine art galleries, craft fairs and markets, and small local businesses.
