tiny paintings, big feelings
My latest works have been delicate botanical studies in dreamy pastels. From intricately painted petals, to stems that carry off of the canvas, every brushstroke invites stillness and appreciation of each species. Like a tiny window into a sunlit garden, each painting brings the light and gentle beauty of nature into any room.

"i'd know you anywhere"
Two black-chinned hummingbirds meet in a cool sky of light blue, pink, and lavender, turning toward one another in the open air. The painting holds the feeling of recognition: of finding someone you love and, for a moment, feeling as though time and distance no longer matter. Open, but detailed, and quietly intimate, this piece captures the kind of connection that feels familiar from the very beginning.

"just the three of us"
Three monarchs fly through a wide evening sky, their wings silhouetted against open blue, delicate pink, and glowing orange. Each one moves differently through the last light of day. Expansive and luminous, this painting captures the feeling of watching something beautiful pass overhead and wanting to hold onto it just a little longer.
a bit about the artist
I'm a southern California oil painter inspired by quiet moments in nature. Iām drawn to butterflies and birds for their delicate movements, which feel like brief pauses in time for mindful reflection. Through detailed brushwork, I capture light, color, and motion to create a peaceful pause on canvas, inviting the viewer to slow down and connect with the world around them.
