Season of Yes
I love painting or sketching outdoors with friends, it's a great way to be present to nature and to share creativity.

Fun fact
I moved to Paris in the middle of the pandemic on a one-way plane with only 3 other people. I brought 2 coats, a pair of impractical heels, my paints and 104 pieces of art with me.
Role models
My role models include some of my amazing art teachers: Sharon Sprung, Michael Grimaldi, Gregg Kreutz and Gabriella Gonzalez Dellosso. I draw inpsiration from artists such as Leonora Carrington, Jenny Saville, Alice Neel and Botticelli. I have also been very inspired by writers Anaïs Nin, Mary Oliver, Virgina Woolf, Eve Babitz and Susan Sontag. And, best for last, my beloved Grandmother!
Why Seattle?
Praise received
A friend recently told me "You keep growing and exploring and that's what makes you exceptional." I was so touched!
