Overview
About Me
I’m a self taught artist who loves to paint all things pretty and feminine. Growing up I created art almost every day and was lucky to have a family who encouraged me to paint, and even color on the walls at a young age. While art was always my greatest love, it was put on the backburner when I moved from a small Northern California town to Hawaii to attend college at Hawaii Pacific University. There, I studied International Business and discovered my other great passion – traveling. While in school, I moved to Seville, Spain to study abroad for a year and traveled to 11 countries around Europe. I was so inspired by the architecture, scenery and beautiful people, I began painting again. It started with creating cards to send back to my family. Once I was back in Hawaii, my sister asked me to create a custom fashion inspired painting for her and I fell in love once again with creating. Now I find inspiration everywhere, from the latest Oscar de la Renta dress to the roses in my grandma’s garden. I'm from California but I just began my adventure traveling through South America starting with Argentina!
I enjoy being outside and in the water. I love scuba diving, surfing, hiking, reading and painting! I love to challenge myself and conquer my fears.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Manta dive on the Big Island of Hawaii. We went scuba diving at night with about 17 manta rays swimming all around us! It was so amazing!
