Hello! I am always excited to teach in community art programs and participate in collaborative projects. Growing up, I did not have opportunities to pursue formal training in art and I am passionate about improving access to educational opportunities and resources to pursue art.  I am a self-taught watercolor artist, and painting over the years has been a contemplative, meditative pursuit, through which I connect and engage with my surroundings. I am drawn to watercolors for the balance between fluidity of brushwork and the permanence of each mark as the painting develops.

My learning is driven by inspiration and curiosity. I am deeply inspired by nature and the changing landscapes and colors around me. Whenever something catches my attention — I pause to absorb and express its essence through my brush strokes. Through this process, I intuitively learn different artistic techniques and keep growing as an artist. 

I sometimes share the story behind my paintings and connect with fellow artists through my Instagram account.
