There's something about the California coast that never lets you go. The way light scatters across the water just before it fades, the pull of the tide, the quiet that only seems to exist at the edge of the ocean — that's what I paint. My work is for anyone who's ever stood at the shoreline and felt the weight of the world lift a little. I create art to give you a place to breathe.
My STORY
I've been making things for as long as I can remember. What started as a deep love for design grew into something I couldn't contain inside the lines of a brief or a brand guide. The coast kept calling. And eventually, I listened. Today I split my time between freelance design work in film and television — a career that's taken me through everything from reality TV to feature films — and the paintings that feel most like home. My fine art is where I get to follow the water, the light, and wherever they lead. It's loose, it's honest, and it's rooted in the Southern California landscape I love. When people hang one of my paintings in their home, I hope they feel what I feel when I'm painting it — that quiet, open space where you don't have to be anywhere else.
With over fifteen years of professional experience in design, I've had the privilege of working across entertainment, retail, and hospitality — collaborating on film sets, show logos, costume elements, and brand identities for some incredible productions. My fine art has been exhibited at Las Laguna Art Gallery and Orange County Creatives Gallery in Laguna Beach, California. You can view my full resume and capabilities deck if you're looking for a design collaborator — I work with a small number of select clients each year.
If a piece of my work has found its way into your heart, I'd love for it to find its way into your home. Prints are available in my shop, and I take on a limited number of original commissions each year. Feel free to reach out — I genuinely love connecting with the people who connect with my art.
