About:​​​

I live in Calimesa, California, along the scenic San Gorgonio Pass. People describe my artwork as expressive, textured, and filled with light. I specialize in watercolor pouring and stencil lifting to create atmospheric watercolors. Each artwork is emotive and often painted all at once. I love to integrate my studies into engaging lessons and demos for the arts community.
