I’ve had a hard time nailing it down, but I think I’ve landed on describing it as a curated color study. How would you describe your art and how do you choose your color palates? What inspires you to make the art you do? I started out recreating rock formations, and it evolved into collecting color palettes from the desert, ocean, geothermal pools, and other places I’ve been to and putting them on canvas.Ģ. I tried realism again, but couldn’t stomach the process of it (I started a painting that STILL isn’t done) and Sandstone Market was born out of the desire to connect painting to a nostalgia for places I’ve traveled to. I mostly felt creatively fulfilled with floral design until I reconnected with painting about two years ago because I missed it so much. I reconnected with some old friends from high school, found a job pretty quickly and just ended up staying… for 9 years! I ditched the idea of art school and came to PDX from Florida (where I lived my entire life) on a whim to take some floral design classes. I got a job being a florist when I was 18 and fell in love with flowers and floral design. I started painting and drawing realism at a super young age and was on the trajectory to get a degree at an art college.
