My art is an extension of my connection to nature and my physical surroundings. The two go hand-in-hand. My process rarely begins in my studio — I spend time exploring outside, a meditative practice that grounds me. I create using materials like watercolour and gouache on paper and canvas because they tie back to natural elements.

I am drawn to floral work because it involves so much light, depth, and transparency. I am able to make my paintings come alive by adjusting perspective, using lively brushstrokes, and incorporating deep jewel tones. I love the juxtaposition of the temporary nature of cut flowers with the permanence of what I paint. While my work may be considered still-life, it is never inert. I aim to breathe life into each piece.

In all of my work you will see the influence of period homes, antique furniture, and textiles. I celebrate classic style by placing time-worn objects in many of my paintings while also trying to keep viewers in the moment by appealing to their senses. I see myself as a person who could float through time, finding joy and inspiration in many eras. By blending nostalgia with elements that compel people to stay in the present, I hope to rouse feelings of hope.
