I’m a figurative artist drawn to the poetry of ordinary things. I work primarily in watercolor and gold leaf, though I let intuition guide the medium.

My early world was shaped by contrast: raised in Southern California but held in the soft hands of Japanese and Korean traditions through the women who cared for me. Paper cranes, kimono, unspoken rituals—these left their mark. The first book I ever read was the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, followed closely by the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, and between them, I learned both ache and enchantment. That balance lives on in my work.

I began studying world theology as a young girl—drawn to symbols, prayers, and archetypes that connect us. As a child, I was insatiably curious about philosophy, and psychology—a hunger that shaped how I see and what I seek.

Over the years, my influences have layered themselves into something personal: Persian miniatures, Japanese prints, sacred texts, and childhood stories

I’m self-taught, which means everything I make comes from instinct, failure, study, and devotion. Most of all, I am a servant to the people who love my work most. I don’t create with spectacle—but with reverence. Each piece I share is part gift, and part conversation.

If something here speaks to you, I’m deeply glad you’ve found your way in.
