Biography

Original Abstract Waterscapes

The work begins with time spent near water: noticing the pull of tides, the changing line of a horizon, and the way light breaks into fragments across a moving surface.

Her paintings combine fluid gestures, mineral washes, layered marks, and softened coastal palettes. Navy, turquoise, sea foam, and sand tones recur throughout the work, creating paintings that feel grounded, airy, and quietly atmospheric.

The studio process is intuitive but considered. Each piece is built through poured passages, hand-worked surfaces, veiled color, and moments of restraint, allowing the finished painting to hold both movement and space.

Process

Layered, Fluid, And Intentionally Calm

Works are created for private collectors, designers, boutique hospitality projects, and wellness-focused interiors that benefit from a natural, reflective focal point.

Water

Tides, currents, reflection, and shifting shorelines guide the compositional movement.

Light

Translucent washes create depth and the sensation of coastal atmosphere.

Surface

Layered pigment, glaze, and hand-worked marks give each painting its tactile character.

Interior

Scale, proportion, and palette are considered for refined, livable spaces.
