My body of work is inspired by my hearts attention towards animals and their behaviors. Learning along side of them, and watching their struggles, yet still mostly fun approach to life.
I am continually in awe at their relationships, lightheartedness, and curiosity.

As a child, I spent weekends visiting my mother at work, employed as a zookeeper and fish aquarium diver. I became fascinated early on with animal behavior, carrying pockets full of doodles around the zoo. Watching animals enjoy life, encouraged by the fun and silliness of them, I imagined these animals as my chit chat friends, and spent many of my younger years pretending they could hear the quiet me. As a painter, I have tried to express the lightness and importance these relationships offered, creating playful, calm, lighthearted and sometimes just silly paintings.
