About the Artist

I am a self-taught oil painter living and working in Seattle, WA — a former engineer, now artist and mother, navigating the quiet intersection of all three.

My work explores balance: between motherhood and memory, between emotional depth and daily life, between the natural world and the interior one. I paint to hold a feeling before it disappears — a hush in the forest, a look from my child, a moment that asks to stay a little longer.

Nature has always offered me refuge. So has painting. In both, I find stillness, reflection, and a sense of belonging I carry into every piece I create.

I work in a detailed style shaped by my engineering background, but what drives me is emotion — the weight of memory, the intimacy of gaze, the quiet tension in a paused gesture. I paint landscapes and portraits that hold space for these feelings.

My work has been shown in solo exhibitions at the Bellevue Library and Overlake Medical Center, as well as in juried group shows throughout Washington State. Upcoming exhibits include a return to Overlake Medical Center and a group show at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in New York.
