My creative background includes involvement in galleries, public art and artisan events.
Gouache
Spring Jackalopes
My work in paper folk art translated into various forms, but a significant transition was ignited after taking a seamless pattern design course. Since then, my misfit art became my entire focus. Now, my art blends cultural and botanical motifs across surfaces from wall art to home goods. And they tend to start as paintings, like this artwork that was showcased in the Misfits gallery show at the Center for Arts in Grass Valley, CA.
Block Print
High West Wildflowers
This block print intertwines Calochortus Lilies and seeks to inspire a thoughtful moment in preserving the scarce flora. Its significance as an environmental gem and a centerpiece in the narratives of intertribal traditions and cuisine across the American West is an enduring piece of history to hold onto.
I love sharing my explorations and process on social media. Follow me to see what’s new.

From Paint to Pattern
Surface pattern design is how I take my paintings into a world of artful living.
