Protea #1 Print

Growing up, our home was always filled with paintings. Trees and plants have always been some of my favorite subjects to draw, though I didn't start drawing figures until college. My style leans toward the whimsical. With my traditional training, I learned how to take an idea that interests me and develop it from the initial sketch to choosing the right medium. After graduating, my family and I moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2014, where I’ve been inspired by the area's natural beauty. Recently, I attended local festivals, where I encountered people who reminded me of Renaissance musicians, which became the focus of several of my recent projects.
