I am a watercolor artist and designer, but my passion is spreading delight! I try to capture beauty in the day-to-day, and I want to share the joy and affection I feel for everything I create. It’s what I hope adds something beautiful to your life! I grew up believing there were two of me! I am an identical twin. We are what’s known as mirror image twins. Where my twin brother is left-handed, I am right; where he is quiet and introverted, I am outgoing and social; where he is straight, I am gay. Both of us grew up sketching and drawing, but my brother seemed more likely to somehow commit his adult life to art. Little did I know we are more alike than we realized! It was during the pandemic when art found me and redrew the path I thought my life would take. As an admittedly nerdy and intense student at Stanford University, like everyone else, my life came to a standstill when the pandemic struck. Then art reappeared and sent my heart soaring! Right away, I became captivated by the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. Soon enough, I began to see little things I’d never noticed before and felt the need to paint: spring bluebonnets, beloved pets, drinks shared among good friends. I felt weirdly compelled to capture every aspect of life - and doing so made me incredibly happy! My sincere hope is that my art makes you happy as well!
