Shop on Pause (Back Soon!)
Shop on Pause (Back Soon!)
You might notice the shop is taking a little nap right now. I’ve hidden the Original Paintings and Art Print pages while I do some behind-the-scenes organizing. I’m switching things up and figuring out how to ship prints directly from my home instead of using a third-party company.
The blog and about pages are still up if you want to peek around, and the shop will be back once I’ve got everything sorted. Thanks for your patience while I get this all set up. I promise it’ll be worth the wait!

About
I’m a portrait artist with a background in architecture
Yep, that’s right - While capturing the essence of people’s faces, I was also busy studying the history of buildings and their structures. It turns out that I wanted to follow my talents before pursuing my dreams. Who knew?
While my degree in architecture taught me the importance of lines, proportions, and intention, I quickly realized that it wasn’t my only purpose. There’s something magical about turning a stark white canvas into a timestamp of a portrait with details like the sparkle in someone’s eyes or how the highlighting of fabric lays across their shoulders. It’s all about capturing a vibe and seeing the emotion through the painting.
I graduated from the University of Washington in the summer of 2024 and will become an architect one day but today… I am a portrait artist.
