I’m a left-handed mixed media artist based in Washington State. My work blends acrylic painting with traditional drawing tools—pens, markers, and colored pencils—alongside digital illustration to create pieces rooted in both realism and imagination. Inspired by both real life and fantasy, I create portraits, landscapes, and story-driven visuals with a whimsical, immersive feel. Alongside my art practice, I specialize in organic social media marketing, using visual storytelling and intentional content design to help brands and creatives build authentic connections with their audiences.

About Me
About Me
I’m a 26-year-old, Washington State–based mixed-media artist inspired by everyday life, fantasy, and storytelling.
Process & Style
Process & Style
My work begins with observation and sketching, then builds through layers of paint and line. I enjoy mixing traditional techniques with playful details, allowing each piece to grow organically while maintaining a sense of realism and wonder. Most of my artwork lives within my sketchbook.
Inspiration & creative process
Inspiration & creative process
Nature, old art history, magical books, Bob Ross, and medieval architecture play a strong role in shaping my work. I’m inspired by fantasy worlds, storytelling, and the quiet details found in everyday life. Listening to music while creating helps guide the mood and rhythm of each piece, allowing imagination and atmosphere to influence the final result.
