Cactus Companions Painting

Growing up, Autumn watched her mother sew, paint, and create with her hands, transforming simple materials into something full of life and intrigue. Those early experiences taught her the joy of making, and shaped how she sees the world: as something to be explored, and reimagined through art. Her childhood in Georgia was spent surrounded by an overgrown neighborhood garden where she developed a deep love for plants, color, and the untamed beauty of the natural world. That sense of wonder followed her to Oregon, where she studied graphic design and learned to balance structure with creativity. Yet, no matter how far she ventured into digital work, she always found herself going back to the tactile, traditional media. Today, she lives and creates in Arizona, where the desert’s light, and resilient plant life continuously fuel her imagination. Through painting and mixed media, she seeks to capture the poetry of nature, its whimsy, and quiet beauty and translate it into expressive works that celebrate the landscapes that shape her life.
