For more than a decade, I’ve been exploring the natural world through my art, working with acrylics, watercolors, and ink. My paintings reflect my deep interest in ecology and sustainability.

The trails, wetlands, beaches, bluffs, meadows, and gardens throughout San Francisco provide endless sources of inspiration. Golden Gate Park, the Richmond District, Presidio, and Land’s End are my neighbors. Whether it’s dappled light filtering through eucalyptus groves, the upturned petals of magnolia blossoms, golden dune grass bending in the wind, or a trail disappearing into thick fog, these moments spark my imagination.

My studies of plants and landscapes blend fact with fiction. I take imaginative leaps, weaving stories into every mark and shape. Each brushstroke becomes a songline that interprets what I’m seeing and feeling in that moment.

Through stillness and what I call “soft fascination,” I discover the fleeting beauty and light in each setting. I try to see the world through nature’s eyes, where landscapes speak in gentle lines, pure colors, textured surfaces, and the sensual curves of the earth.

By shifting my focus from myself to the natural world around me, I bring the outside in. Each piece becomes a living document—capturing silent dialogues and stories with many possible endings. These intimate encounters inspire me to make the invisible visible and reveal what I think of as “the light within.”
