Through my art I capture beauty, honor memories, and connect with others in simple heartfelt ways.
Hi friend,
Thank you for your interest in my art. I’m truly glad you’re here!
My surroundings in Northern California inspire much of my work—from serene landscapes and gentle seascapes to everyday objects, people, pets, and wildlife. Known for soft textures and thoughtful details, my paintings are created with intention—to spark joy and remind us to find beauty in the simple wonders all around us.
I'm often reminded of the special role my art plays in people’s lives. It brings joy, rekindles cherished memories, offers peace and comfort, and strengthens connections—sometimes in ways that only a heartfelt gift or memory can. This is a privilege that I cherish deeply.
Beyond wall art, my watercolor paintings are thoughtfully transformed into a variety of unique woven and printed home and lifestyle items, bringing a bit of artistic charm to your everyday life. And as an illustrator, I bring my love of watercolor to children’s books, helping stories come alive and find their way into young readers’ hearts—sparking delight and imagination with every page.
Whether you enjoy my art in books, prints, original paintings, or products, I’m deeply grateful for the space you make in your life for my art. Your support is a constant source of inspiration.
I’d love to invite you to subscribe to Studio Friends Art Mail—where every monthly collection begins with a vote from our subscribers, then I bring the winning theme to life in watercolor.

Some places leave a lasting impression on your heart, and Grandmother Rock is one of them.
Grandmother Rock on Trinidad State Beach in Humboldt County is more than a stunning landmark. According to Tsu-rai legend, she is a patient grandmother who was turned to stone by the gods and now sits overlooking the Pacific, forever waiting for her warrior grandson to return from the sea. Knowing this story gives the landscape an even deeper sense of beauty, history, and reverence.
