Artist, Designer, Storyteller

I create paintings, sculptures, and visual narratives that explore the repetition and quiet weight of chronic illness. Living with fibromyalgia means navigating cycles of treatment, medication, and medical uncertainty—patterns that emerge in my work through series, sequence, and meticulous detail. My pieces often reflect on the aesthetics of the pharmaceutical industry, the subtle toll of invisible conditions, and the ways in which our bodies both carry and betray us.

In my series Ask Your Doctor About ___ Today, I paint detailed pill portraits against pastel backdrops, echoing the way medication marketing turns potent treatments into unassuming objects. My oil painting Déjà Vu layers interwoven bodies to suggest time's passage and the inescapability of pain. Through watercolor illustrations like Things to Use to Stay Okay, I document the tools and rituals of survival with obsessive precision. Art gives me a way to process, to question, and to speak on experiences often left unspoken.

Beyond my personal practice, I work in marketing and design, crafting compelling visual and written content that connects people with ideas that matter. I’ve taught studio art, math, and design, and I love translating complex concepts into accessible, meaningful storytelling. I hold a BFA in Art & Design from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and my background spans fine art, graphic design, education, and creative strategy.

When I’m not painting or designing, you can find me paddle boarding in Mission Bay, running with friends, boxing, or wandering through art museums. I also have a deep love for scoping out bookstores, curating hyper-specific playlists, and indulging in absurdly niche research rabbit holes.

I was born in Bremerton, WA, and I live and work in San Diego, CA.
