Artist Statement

I like to use a soft, organic color palette with an unexpected dash of brightness and the occasional sparkle of glitter, silver, or gold in my illustrations, paintings, and calligraphy. My aesthetic expresses warmth, comfort, and a delightful energy. There is muted contrast, no conflict to struggle through, just a vision of whimsy, tranquility and joyfulness. I like to engage the senses with gentle color while simultaneously creating a beautiful vision that warms you from the inside – reminiscent of a cuddly, warm blanket or lovie on a sunny but windy blue-sky, fluffy-cloud day. It’s about expressing serenity, beauty, and love in the simplest form.
