Welcome!
I’m a long time Chico local, and very excited to share my art with you!
I grew up visiting Open Studios and I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be on the tour as an artist this year.
Much of my art explores the connection of systems through repetition and color.
I’ve held a deep love for maps and instruction manuals since I was little. Fascinated by how things work and how cities are structured, I spent much of childhood drawing imaginary cities and diagrams. I continued studying drawing in high school and explored various mediums at Chico State including wood and fabric sculpture, and arc welding. I graduated Chico State with a BA in Visual Communications (Graphic Design) and a minor in Small Business Entrepreneurship. My most recent public art project was painting a newspaper stand for the Chico News and Review.
More recently I’ve found a passion for printmaking and painting. I paint with acrylic and then hand draw with a gel pen. In the case of printmaking, I carve out my designs on a rubber block, hand mix the color(s), and then apply the ink with a roller, pressing paper into the block for a finished print. Colors are custom mixed and unique each time.
Come by and say hi!
