About
Thank you for joining me here.
Welcome to my studio, where you can immerse yourself in a light-filled space filled with the vibrancy of California's flora and fauna that allows you to rest and rejuvenate.
If you are an engaged, passionate, and independent-minded nature lover who loves being surrounded by beauty, my art is created for you so you can intentionally curate your home and work spaces with a joyful energy that supports and uplifts you emotionally and spiritually.
In a world that can feel so heavy, I believe that connecting to art and nature can bring a sense of ease, remind us of the beauty that does exist in our lives, and become a gentle way we care for ourselves and each other.
A Northward Journey
I am a California-based watercolor and mixed media artist who brings my lifelong love of art, California's native plants, animals, and wild spaces into your home with a joyful and vibrant use of color.
I grew up in Southern California’s Little Saigon, then moved to California's Central Coast to obtain my Bachelor of Science degree in landscape architecture and a minor in fine arts at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I now reside in Northern California where I practice my art in watercolor and mixed media.
Growing up in the concrete environment of Orange County, I didn’t explore much of California until I went to San Luis Obispo for my undergraduate degree in landscape architecture. It was here I discovered the delight and beauty of California native plants, and they became my vegetal and art subject passion.
California’s unique environment and my work as a restoration ecologist and landscape architect continues to inspire my artwork. When I'm not creating art for you in my studio, you might find me hiking California's outdoor spaces, exploring art museums and galleries, and spending time with friends and family.
A Studio of My Own
My artwork is created in ARTHOUSE on R, a light-filled studio and gallery complex, and artist collective. ARTHOUSE is located within the mid-1800's converted W.P. Fuller glass factory built along Downtown Sacramento's historic R Street Corridor. After decades of decline and neglect, this now vibrant, redeveloped street is a lively mix of boutiques, pubs, wine bars, coffeeshops, bistros, housing, and a burgeoning art community that includes ARTHOUSE.
ARTHOUSE has art studios and a main gallery where we host a new guest artist exhibit every 2nd Saturday from 5PM - 8PM. During 2nd Saturdays, you can visit me as well as my ARTHOUSE artist friends in person as we open our studios to the public. You can also visit me by appointment.
