About my art

You're invited to visit my online portfolio and my new etsy store! I'll be selling art prints, watercolor prints, mixed media prints, and digital prints as well as various holiday cards. I also love custom orders.

I'm a graphic designer/illustrator living in Los Angeles. My personal work tends toward what I like to call whimsical realism. I love animals, so my work often is about them.

I've been painting since I was about 5, and graduated from CalArts in fine art/painting. It's my passion; I hope you enjoy my work!

some ideas behind my work

Much of my artwork explores the relationship between humans and animals. I want to show a whimsical world where those (sometimes small) communication blocks between humans and animals are more dissolved, and there can be more of an understanding. Images of a girl living underwater with a pet fish, or with a crocodile are examples of this. The real-world constraints of humans not being able to communicate with fish--because we can't breathe underwater or because they can't speak to us--are gone. In doing so, there's a dreamlike quality that emerges, which is also my intent.
