I don't start with a sketch or a plan — I start with a feeling, and a color that seems to match it. From there, the canvas leads. I layer paint, paper, fabric, and whatever else the piece seems to be asking for, without deciding in advance where any of it is going. Some days that means adding; other days it means covering something up entirely and starting again on top of it. The process is slow by nature — nothing here is finished in one sitting, and nothing is repeated the same way twice.
How I Work
Much of what ends up in a piece existed somewhere else first — sand from a morning walk, sea glass worn smooth by the tide, scraps of fabric or paper that would otherwise be thrown away. I like that a painting can hold onto a piece of something real, something with its own history, long before it became part of the work. By the time a piece feels finished, it's usually gone through more changes than I can fully remember — which is exactly how I know it's honest.
Based in downtown Santa Barbara, I draw inspiration from my serene daily life as both an artist and poet — the ocean, the mountains, the rhythm of a slower pace. I'm an active presence in the local art community, showing my work at the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show and through my involvement with SBAA, Gallery 113, Faulkner Gallery, Carpinteria Art Center, and Voice Gallery. My path to this life wasn't a straight line — it wound through psychology, teaching, and a season that asked me to rebuild everything around what truly mattered. That story, and the art it shaped, in the about me page.
Rooted in Santa Barbara
