Embracing Nature's Canvas: Meet the Artist Nestled in the lush and vibrant city of Portland, Oregon, I find inspiration in the very essence of nature itself. Working closely with plants in my daily life, I have cultivated a profound connection to the botanical world that now flourishes in my artistic endeavors. My journey as an artist began far away from the Pacific Northwest, in the picturesque landscapes of Colorado. From a young age, I was drawn to the world of creativity, captivated by the magic of painting and drawing. It was a serendipitous encounter with a caring librarian that kindled the flames of my artistic passion. A generous gift—a massive bag filled with art supplies—became the catalyst for my lifelong artistic odyssey. As the years passed, my love for the arts grew alongside my fascination with the natural world. In Portland, where verdant forests meet blooming gardens, I found myself surrounded by a kaleidoscope of botanical wonders. Each leaf, each flower, and each stem inspires my artistic pursuits. My preferred medium, watercolor & micron, allows me to capture the delicate intricacies of the plant world. I invite you to explore my collection, where you'll find my heart and soul etched onto each canvas. Whether you're an art connoisseur or a nature lover, my work is a bridge between the two worlds—a fusion of my Colorado roots, my Portland present, and my lifelong dedication to the arts.
