Much like lasagna, it's all about layers.
Harmony in playful color palettes and patterns that bring warmth and joy. A sewing machine just like your grandma’s. The wispy grass from your hometown beach. A breakfast spread you can almost taste. My art is for the people with ties to the places I care for or a heart string connected to a similar thing. As collections from my travels, snap shots of home, or foods that comfort, the layers in my art allow bits to peek through that contrast, that excite, and showcase the simple kind of beautiful through layers of painting and printmaking.
