i’m a chicago-based mixed media artist working primarily in watercolor, watercolor pencil, pen and ink wash, and most recently: acrylic leather painting.
i grew up surrounded by creativity with an oil painter mother, spending much of my childhood in art camps, sketching, and making anything crafty. inspired by travel photography, architecture, food, and everyday objects, i eventually began watercolor travel journaling as a way to capture places more personally.
around 2015, i started taking online art courses more seriously, and during the pandemic in 2020, i deepened my practice through both virtual and in-person classes, experimenting with new materials and taking on commissions along the way. my newest artistic endeavor has been sourcing vintage leather goods from a variety of makers and eras, and painting original images directly on the surface, which is prepped and sealed to be a wearable piece of art.
this space is an evolving collection of prints, paper goods, commissions, and future projects inspired by color, texture, and the small details that make life memorable for me.
