About the Artist
My paintings, like people, are layered and complex. Working in oil and acrylic, I explore the emotional and symbolic dimensions of connection—how we hold one another, how we belong, and how our shared humanity is formed through relationship.
The decade I spent living in Honduras after college deeply shaped how I understand connection. Immersed in a culture where life is shared, I learned to value community over perfection and presence over performance. That experience continues to inform my work, grounding it in a reverence for human connection and the strength found in belonging.
Rooted in my own journey of unlearning perfectionism and people-pleasing, my paintings often center on hands, flowers, and symbolic gestures of connection. These recurring forms speak to intimacy, freedom, and interdependence, inviting viewers into a space where they can soften, recognize themselves, and feel less alone.
I create to honor what connects us—to remind us that every person carries a distinct imprint, like a fingerprint, and that everyone is worthy of being seen, known, and held within community.
