About the Artist
"I'm a self-taught painter based in Denver and have been a professional in the industry for 6 years.
I’m drawn to the life cycle of flowers, how they grow through dirt, endure elements they can’t control, bloom gorgeously yet become more interesting as they age and wilt. My work illustrates different parts of myself and femininity, showing both fierceness and softness in my work. Each piece comes to life and takes on its own personality. Naming my work after inspirational women is my way of celebrating feminism. A backdrop for connection. The feeling of nourishment
An opportunity for other creatives to work, engagement and product shoots thus bringing people to the area evokes emotion in people who see it. And when people feel something they remember they are alive.
My style brings a softness, feminine, light, and freeing quality to an industrial area. It makes one yearn to notice details in everyday existence and when someone does notice such things is forever enriched. It makes you take a step back, breathe, and take a bigger look at everything around us. Gives the sense of life and abundance”
