My Art

 

There is a difference between art and design. Design is about the client. Art is about you.

For me, art makes time stand still, brings me closer to my state of being and allows me to capture all that I find inspiring in the world.

I have been making art since I could pick up a paintbrush. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art in 2003 from Western Washington University with specializations in drawing, painting, photography, and printmaking. I also completed a minor in art history. My favorite subjects to capture are horses and women and my favorite mediums include oil paint, ink and charcoal. I also enjoy calligraphy and hand lettering.

Below you will find some select works from the past 18 years.
