Creator of the Brave Beginner Art Course: How to Survive and Thrive Through Creativity

My art is influenced by the natural beauty of California's coast and the surrounding landscape. I strive to capture the essence of the scenery I paint through soothing colors and bold brushstrokes. Primarily, I work with acrylic paints, using various techniques to create texture and depth in my pieces.


Over the years, my artwork has been displayed in various galleries across California, including the Monterey Museum of Art, the Los Gatos Museum of Art, and the Pacific Grove Art Center. I've had the privilege of being featured in solo shows and participating in numerous group exhibitions. It's truly humbling to know that my work is collected by private collectors both nationally and internationally. I've also had the opportunity to collaborate with interior designers to create custom pieces for their clients' private collections. Additionally, my artwork hangs in healthcare facilities locally and in the San Francisco Bay Area, and has even been featured on the covers of the Journal of Critical Care Medicine.
