About the artist.

I am a self-taught painter who has an appreciation for acrylics and oils.  I am currently based in La Jolla, California where I work as a Registered Nurse.  On off days from the hospital, getting into a "flow state" is one of my favorite activities.  Pulling images from my mind and transferring them to canvas, getting lost in the act of creation, has always been an incredible outlet for me.  I am deeply inspired by traveling, music, and human interaction.  The patients and human stories I encounter inspire my portrayal of emotion on canvas.  I continue to seek opportunity to listen and observe, in hopes of creating new works of art.  Since moving from Washington, DC to the coast California, the sky and the ocean have occupied my mind.  However, I am open to commissions, and I am constantly changing my focus and style of my art.
