Profile
I'm a mixed-media illustrator from Seattle, Washington. I create art using a unique three-dimensional process combining collaged fabric, acrylic paint, embroidery floss, and nails. The finished pieces are highly stylized interpretations of reality, full of luminous colors and textural depth. I am frequently inspired by astrology, geometry, folklore, herbalism, zoology, and science. I've recently been developing my own line of graphic t-shirts based on my paintings. When I'm not painting, I enjoy reading, gardening and hiking around the Pacific Northwest; all of which inspire my paintings. I have a MFA in Illustration from University of Hartford & a BFA in Illustration from Otis College of Art & Design
