I'm a bit of an enigma, even to myself. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I've always felt a deep connection to nature's rhythms and cycles. My family has lived on this land for generations, cultivating a love for the earth that only grew stronger with each passing year. Growing up surrounded by ancient forests and rushing rivers, I developed an intuitive sense of how things move and change - how life is constantly in flux.
As a young woman, I found myself drawn to art as a way to capture the essence of this world around me. I spent countless hours sketching and painting, trying to distill the beauty of nature into simple forms and colors. My passion for art eventually led me to pursue a career as an illustrator, but my heart remained rooted in the land that nurtured me.
Over time, I began to explore new mediums - digital art, photography, even fashion design - but always with a focus on preserving the essence of what inspires me most: the natural world. These days, you can find me wandering through forests or experimenting with new artistic techniques back at my studio. Wherever life takes me next, you can bet it'll be guided by my love for this incredible planet we call home.
What do I look like when I'm working on a new art piece?
