is a contemporary mixed-media visual artist, working primarily in watercolor and gouache, though she uses inks, wax, pastels, and coloring pencils when a piece calls for it. Her work is primarily abstract landscapes, inspired by the sun-drenched and dynamic Florida skies. It’s an exploration in patience and emotional pacing, respecting blooms and accidental marks. Her expressive work is more whimsical, often focused on women, dancers, castles, knights, and playing with scale. She aims to reach other sensitive souls like her, who have trouble connecting with their emotions and who were told at a young age that whimsy wouldn’t get them anywhere. The world needs more playfulness, not less.
