inspired by the zoomed in details
  • in the woods behind my home

BORN NEW YEARS EVE, 1995
RaiSED in Orem, Utah
CURRENT HOME: rochester, new york
pursuing art full-time since 2016

inspired by wildflowers, KIND people, the geese & BIRDS outside my window, fresh paint + tiny detail brushes, nature walks in the forest, my art heroes, & a gnawing ache for goodness & beauty.

i create daily out of my home studio in upstate new york, alongside my brilliantly stubborn pup: Link,
& my partner of 10 years whom i adore: dallas south. ♥

special thanks to the people who have supported me throughout the years, & a special thank you to those who collect my work in their homes/lives.

Thank you for being a part of making my dreams come true!!

Brb, gotta get back at it! :) ♥
