I am an artist and community advocate driven by a deep passion for people and the planet. As an immigrant who has moved frequently throughout life, I often hesitate to claim any one place as home. However, I currently reside in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada foothills of California. My journey has brought me into contact with diverse individuals and awe-inspiring landscapes—experiences that form the heart of my art practice in both portraiture and landscape work.

 

Art began for me as a way to infuse magic and beauty into my life—a tool for healing, reflection, and hope during times of adversity. My creative practice is grounded in personal and collective stories, drawing from moments of growth, resilience, and emotional transformation. I work primarily in watercolor, pen, and graphite, though I continue to explore new mediums. In my portraits, I use realism interwoven with surreal elements and imaginative compositions to tell deeper stories. In landscapes, I embrace bold colors and whimsical details to convey my spiritual and emotional connection to the land.

 

At its core, my work aims to inspire a sense of reverence—for the self and the natural world. I’m particularly fascinated by the quiet strength people discover through perseverance and the energy that flows through wild, untamed places. As I continue to evolve as an artist, I’m excited to expand my mixed-media practice and delve further into themes of identity, transformation, and nature’s sacredness.
