I grew up a child of well-known artist parents in Trinidad California, a small town known for its rain, fog, and coastal scenery. I spent most of my time outside at the beach, rivers, and in the woods which created a strong connection to nature. I studied drawing, painting, collage and ceramics; graduating from Humboldt State University with a bachelor’s degree in art. I treasure nature and animals, which have been incorporated into most of my pieces.
My work is rooted in the quiet alchemy of transformation—spiritual, energetic, and material. Women and animals appear throughout my work as sacred figures—guardians, messengers, and embodiments of instinct, resilience, and transformation. Using handmade paper, collage, stenciling, and acrylics, I create layered compositions that mirror the process of inner awakening and soul work. The act of making paper by hand is sacred to me. It holds memory, breath, and intention before a single mark is made. From there, I build each piece through intuitive layering—allowing Reiki energy and meditative states to guide the placement of textures, symbols, and color. Stencils become patterns of energy. Collage elements speak to fragmentation and renewal. Acrylics act as carriers of light, movement, and frequency. My work seeks to hold space for metamorphosis—not just as a concept, but as a felt experience. I approach each piece as a ritual, a portal, a reflection of the unseen currents that flow through and around us. These pieces invite stillness, presence, and connection—a soft return to the self, to source, and to the subtle intelligence of change.
