I’m a figurative artist drawn to stillness, memory, and the quiet poetry of ordinary things. I work primarily in watercolor and gold leaf, though I let intuition guide the medium—sometimes it’s words, sometimes it’s light, sometimes it’s silence itself.

My early world was shaped by contrast: raised in Southern California but held in the soft hands of Japanese and Korean traditions through the women who cared for me. Paper cranes, kimono, unspoken rituals—these left their mark. The first book I ever read was the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, followed closely by the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales, and between them, I learned both ache and enchantment. That balance still lives in my work.

I began studying world theology as a young girl—drawn to the symbols, prayers, and archetypes that connect us across belief and time. As a young girl, I was insatiably curious about poetry, art, philosophy, and psychology—a hunger that shaped how I see and what I seek.

Over the years, my influences have layered themselves into something personal: Persian miniatures, Japanese prints, sacred texts, childhood stories, and the long, quiet walks that taught me how to listen.

I’m self-taught, which means everything I make has come from instinct, failure, study, and devotion. Most of all, I am a servant to the people who love my work most. I don’t create with spectacle—I create with reverence. Each piece I share is part gift, part conversation, and part prayer.

I paint love in its many forms—human, spiritual, and elemental—and I honor the quiet thread that runs through all living things. If something here speaks to you, I’m deeply glad you’ve found your way in.
