My work is inspired by international influences based on the places I’ve lived and visited such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia. I work mainly with two dimensional media such as acrylic, oil, watercolor and charcoal but have recently become interested in more texturally layered and complex work and have begun to add elements such as yarn painting, plaster, and found objects in my work. I am constantly researching Balinese, Tibetan, African, Indian and Navajo artwork. Many of the themes I work with are based on local mythologies and expressive interpretations of the figure.

My work ranges from $200 to $800 USD.
