Art became my full-time focus after years of carrying the dream quietly alongside a career in systems engineering. Along the way, my experiences as a veteran, a mother, and a woman in technical fields shaped how I see the world, drawing me to stories of resilience, quiet strength, and the connections that bind us to each other and to the natural world.

Across all mediums, I create work that invites viewers to pause, notice something gentle or powerful, and carry that feeling forward
