A Few Words About Me

Born in Portland Oregon, I am a self-taught abstract artist now living in Seattle Washington. I have always called the Pacific Northwest home. From a young age, I was interested in taking things apart and putting them back together.

With my artwork, I tend to follow a similar process. I break down a painting into sections, and then combine them piece-by-piece back into something unique and engaging. I like to search for and discover gently-used/sometimes-forgotten canvases – as well as old or antique frames – and upcycle these materials to create something entirely new and different.

A Few Words About Me

Born in Beaverton Oregon, I have always felt a deep connection to nature and the outdoors. The PNW has been home for as long as I can remember.

Moving to Seattle when I turned 10, what struck me most was the light – the way the sky shifts when it rains, and the mist that settles over the Cascades. I am continually drawn to history, to dreams, and to the idea of a shared memory.

In my work, I try to pull from all of this. I’m not interested in telling anyone what to feel or think – only in holding up a mirror…
