BIO

I'm a born and raised Hawaii artist.  I've been artistically inclined since I was five or six years old and I used to draw my favorite characters from Disney films.  Then it became creating my own Pokemon characters.  I didn't start trying to really hone myself until high school when I would draw portraits of my friends.  From there I took an art class in college and developed an affinity for oils and watercolor.  Art got me through some dark times battling with chronic illness.  It was a balm to my soul to still be able to create beauty in the midst of darkness.  I also used it as a way to connect with my deceased father, who was a wonderful painter.  I sign my paintings the exact same way he signed his, to continue his legacy.  I began exploring digital art during the pandemic and have been loving the variety of brushes and techniques available digitally.  I enjoy drawing and creating anything that captures my idea of beauty in the world.
