I grew up in Moraga, California, a small town in the Bay Area between Berkeley and Walnut Creek. My love of art started early and was deeply shaped by the women in my life. My mom is a stained glass artist and always had creative projects and crafts around the house. My grandma, Gaga, fostered my love of art by taking me to museums throughout the Bay Area. We often attended exhibitions at the de Young and SFMOMA.

In eighth grade, I decided to dedicate my life to art and creativity. That commitment led me to study painting and design at California College of the Arts in Oakland and San Francisco, where I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I especially loved my painting and drawing classes and became deeply inspired by the rich history of the Bay Area art scene and the possibility of building a creative life.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with brands including Serena & Lily, Anthropologie, Papyrus, Nordstrom, and more through paintings, prints, home collections, and creative partnerships.

Today, I live and work in Lake Tahoe, where I raise my five-year-old son surrounded by nature. I paint as often as possible and continue to draw inspiration from life in the mountains, especially in spring and summer when the wildflowers are in bloom.

My work is inspired by everyday beauty, symbolism, and the belief that creativity belongs in everyday life. Whether I’m creating a large original painting, a birth month flower commission, or a bridal bouquet portrait, I hope each piece feels joyful, and deeply personal.
