Soul searcher, self love & mindfulness explorer, truth teller, thoughts and dreams traveler, & a lover of nature; this is me at my core.
I’ve always felt at home & at peace while painting & exploring outdoors. My emotions & a thoughts have always been parts of myself that I’ve been acutely aware of. Put them all together & you have the recipe that brewed the creation of my artwork. 
Things have come & gone in my life; creativity, curiosity, being wonderstruck by nature, & my search for mental clarity will always be necessities.
At home in nature. Ever-inspired by the exploration of people's perspectives, thoughts, emotions, & dreams; transformed into colorful landscapes that encompass these aspects of humanity that leave me in awe.

My Must Haves
When I'm not traveling or photographing, I can be found curled up on our coach with a candle lit, enjoying a glass of deep red wine with my husband.

Fashion is my first love, and still informs my shooting style, my approach to posing, and my tendency towards editorial imagery, layers, and texture.
