What began as resin pieces combining painting, photography, and dried flowers over 15 years ago, has turned into something I truly love to do and keep coming back to. Along the way, I found inspiration through surfing and the friendships it brought into my life. I met some incredibly talented photographers through that community whose work I truly admired, and I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a few of them on past pieces—Cori Stephens (@corina_rose), Sam Schafer (@samschafer), Jonathan Nimerfroh (@jdnphotography), and Lucrecia Burch (@_lucrecia_), to name a few. Art has always been a powerful connector for me, and I’ve found that working with others—not just creating on my own—leads to the most meaningful experiences. Since those early days, I’ve created countless mixed media works and currently show in several galleries around the world. I’m so grateful for where this journey has taken me, and I look forward to continuing to meet inspiring people and collaborate with other creatives through the work I share.
