If you look hard enough, you can find nature’s beauty in unexpected places. As a visual and graphic artist, I create decorative art and jewelry using new and repurposed materials, photography and traditional media. Natural and upcycled elements often find their way into my abstract and impressionistic pieces—whether paint on canvas, beads, found objects or items once destined for the trash. I love exploring the interplay of these materials, and my goal is to spark joy while highlighting the hidden beauty in overlooked things.
