Personal project 2023. Clients fill out a survey and I create 4” circle paintings based on their selections! Options include type of mushroom, favorite colors, and weather. This was a fun way to collaborate with clients as well as grow as an artist by developing painting skills (with no underdrawing or sketch) and including colors and other specifics outside my norm.

Medium: Acryla Gouache and airbrush.

Original Painting | Acryla Gouache on paper
Created for Archimedes Show featuring puffins - I focused on PNW seabirds and also made stickers from the puffin character.

I love the pattern and texture of waves and exploring along the west coast. These are handpainted using Holbein Acryla Gouache and based off reference photos I’ve taken of real life locations.

Holbein Acryla Gouache & Ink
Created for Flora & Fauna exhibition at Gallery Nucleus (CA), 2015.

I loved creating works based on animals in what I imaged was a cozy space in their home.
