I make art to help you stay connected to what you care about amidst the rush of the everyday.
I know you've worked hard to build a business that makes a difference for others and a life that's meaningful for you. If you know what it's like balancing a client call with a wailing kid, I've got you.
My paintings do just that.
I create art that speaks to your purpose and reminds you why do what you do—with joy!—everyday. (Okay, maybe not every day is joyful, but, #goals, people.)
Plus, it'll make your space look killer professional and gorgeous.
My clients feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
My art nurtures joy, courage, and kindness.
I grew up in California dreaming of being an artist and making a difference in the world.
I took a hard look and decided most of the world's problems had to do with resources, so I majored in environmental studies and sustainable agriculture, then got a job as a farm-to-table cook. Working in food systems, I learned that most of the world's problems have solutions, but we struggle to make them happen because we never agree on anything.
So I concluded the real problem lies in our perception, communication, and emotions. I went on a philosophy and meditation quest that led me to France by way of India. It mighta been destined—when I was a kid, I was convinced I needed to know French to be a real artist, so I made sure to learn. It comes in handy now I live here. I've been in southwest France, Périgord Noir to be precise, since 2013. I found myself a Frenchman, a rad stepdaughter, and we made two small wildmen to round out the family.
When I was six months pregnant with our first son, I landed in the hospital in preterm labor, not knowing if my baby would survive. I faced a dark night of the soul that involved bargaining with myself, the universe, and anyone listening that I would face all my fears, stop playing small, and do something meaningful with my life if only my baby could live. That night only ended three months later when he was born healthy at thirty-seven weeks. I resolved to dust off my dream of being an artist and use my work to do good in the world.
What better way to do good than to support other people doing great work?
Yes, I'm talking about you. You're doing incredible things with your purpose and passion.
I believe that true value comes from the intention we bring to our work. Meaningful work can take so many forms—what matters most is the kindness and care you bring to it.
It's not easy to stay present in the modern world. Technology is constantly demanding your attention in a million different directions. You're balancing business, family, community, health, and the. list. goes. on.
I make art that brings you back to the here and now. That reminds you life is short and it's up to you what you wanna do with it. And in that moment, connects you to what matters most. Your dreams and your purpose.
I'm so excited to make art for you.
