Wild at Heart. Western by Nature. Painted with Purpose.
Rooted in the spirit of the Southwest, my work explores the freedom, strength, and connection found in its horses, landscapes, traditions, and people. Through blending, layered glazing, dramatic light, and rich color, I create cinematic oil paintings that capture more than what is seen—I seek to preserve the feeling, movement, and stories that make the Southwest enduring. Each piece is created with intention, honoring a way of life that is deeply rooted, fiercely alive, and always moving forward.
Painted with Purpose.
Each piece begins with observation and story, often from a lived experience and then layered through photography and writing before taking form on canvas. This process allows the work to hold not only visual impact, but emotional depth, capturing moments that feel lived, remembered, and connected to place. The finished painting is a reflection of that experience—a way to preserve the moments, people, and places that shape us, and to carry their stories forward through art.

I’m excited to be a 2026 Featured Artist in the Austin Studio Tour!
This will be my second year participating in the AST, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this amazing celebration of Austin’s creative community. I’ll be collaborating with a host location and sharing a collection of my work inspired by the American West and Cowgirl heritage- horses, cowgirls, dancehalls, and the spirit of the Texas Landscape. Come see the paintings in person, meet the artist behind them, and experience the stories and details that photographs simply can’t capture.
📍 Dates: November 14–15 & 21–22
🕛 Time: 11:00–5:00 PM Daily
Locations: ArtHUB ATX & Cannon Coffee
