Originally from New York, I’ve lived in Colorado most of my life and now live in Denver with my sweet pup, Rosie, where I split my time between the studio and the garden. Gardening isn’t just a passion—it’s an extension of my creative process. Many of the plants I grow eventually become part of my art through handmade botanical solar prints. These prints are created by placing plant cuttings on photosensitive paper and using sunlight to capture their silhouettes—a simple but magical process.

​

My mixed-media work begins with layers of encaustic medium (a blend of beeswax and damar resin) and gradually builds texture and history through botanical prints, leaf imprints, image transfers, vintage notions, and bits of found ephemera. I’m fascinated by the contrast and connection between natural elements and man-made objects. As I work, a theme slowly emerges, weaving these fragments together into a piece that feels whole.

Each work is an invitation to pause, look closer, and reflect on the beauty of the natural world—and our connection to it.
