Artistic Discipline: Visual

Location: Fruitland, WA

My work is mostly mixed media, drawing from impressionism and expressionism with subtle touches of abstraction. I focus on high contrast and textured compositions that invite viewers to connect through relatable imagery, evoking memories or personal feelings.

My goal is to paint beyond the immediate image and into feelings and senses. I love to incorporate hidden elements such as wind, light, or sound to suggest layers of experience.  I also enjoy adding animals or concealed images that reveal themselves under blacklight, introducing an element of surprise.
