my inspiration
comes from the world around me. The small moments, easily missed, or the big memories I want to hold onto forever. I live next to a nature preserve and am continuously inspired by nature.
My work in painting / pattern / and textile all stems from my daily sketchbook practice which acts as fuel to my creative fire.
