Discover A Study in Pink — a serene series of botanical paintings where lush green plants meet soft pink tiles and shimmering gold accents. This collection invites calm, balance, and a fresh perspective on color and nature.

Confidence isn’t loud. Sometimes, it’s just showing up—again and again—until your voice feels steady and your vision feels true.

For me, confidence didn’t arrive all at once. It built slowly, through every painting I didn’t think I could finish, every commission that challenged me, and every piece I shared even when I was scared to be seen.

Art has taught me that confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about trusting yourself enough to create anyway. To risk expression. To take up space.

Every canvas has been a quiet act of belief in myself. And with each one, that belief grows a little stronger.

Mental health isn’t linear—and neither is healing. Some days are soft and quiet; others are heavy with weight I can’t quite name. Through it all, art has been my lifeline.

Painting gives me a place to go when I can’t explain what I’m feeling. It’s where I process, release, and rebuild. Color becomes language. Texture becomes truth. Creating isn’t just what I do—it’s how I survive.

This journey has taught me to be gentle with myself, to honor the hard days, and to find beauty in resilience. If you’re navigating your own path, I hope my work offers you a moment of stillness, connection, or even a little hope.

You’re not alone.

There’s a kind of magic you only find in local spaces—the neighborhood coffee shop that remembers your order, the boutique that carries handmade treasures, the brewery that doubles as a gallery (like the one that hosts my work).

Supporting local businesses isn’t just about shopping small—it’s about investing in your own community. It’s about knowing the names behind the counters, the stories behind the products, and the love poured into every detail.

When you buy local art, you’re not just decorating a wall—you’re fueling someone’s dream, and helping keep creativity alive right where you live.

There’s something quietly heroic about a cat rescue—the kind of everyday magic that starts with a soft meow and ends in a forever home. Whether it’s a kitten pulled from under a porch or a senior cat finding comfort after years of uncertainty, rescue stories remind us that love often shows up with fur, whiskers, and a whole lot of attitude.

As an artist and lifelong cat admirer, I find endless inspiration in these stories. Rescued cats have a resilience that’s impossible not to admire—and it’s that same spirit I try to capture in my work: independent, expressive, and beautifully complex.

Supporting rescues isn’t just about helping animals—it’s about building compassion, one life at a time.
