LO-FI STUDIO DREAMS SERIES
marker, pencil, & pastel on paper

Lo-Fi Studio Dreams Ink and Pencil on Paper

My current series "Lo-Fi Studio Dreams" invites viewers into vibrantly colored, whimsical worlds crafted with marker, pastel, and colored pencil. These intimate, dreamlike environments serve as mini sanctuaries for rest and preservation in a turbulent world. The series is deeply influenced by growing up in the 90s, my travels to color-rich India, the processing of my grief surrounding my Father's passing, and the themes of home and belonging. Offering a sense of nostalgic familiarity and wondrous enchantment, each piece encourages moments of quiet reflection, reminding us that we can create our own inner spaces of comfort and resilience.

TRANSFORMATION SERIES

series of colorful butterfly paintings acrylic on canvas

My "Transformation" Series features large-scale butterflies painted with acrylic on canvas. Each piece reflects the universal shared experience of the hero's journey, personal growth, and celebrating the transformation of grief into joy, and the discovery of light in darkness. Inspired by my own healing process around my Dad's long fought battle with Parkinsons, these works embrace the beauty of change and the resilience of the human spirit. With radiant colors and striking compositions, the series serves as a metaphor for renewal and an invitation to embrace the transformative power of life’s hardest challenges.

My relationship with illustration began in early childhood, drawing alongside my Dad on the backs of paper place mats in our window booth at my hometown diner. Since then, I have had an unending love of creative expression, preferring to have ink on my jeans and paint under my fingernails. One of my favorite offerings are my custom illustration services tailored to the needs of my small business clients. Whether you’re looking for engaging visuals for your brand, unique product designs, or charming storytelling elements, I bring a playful, colorful style to every project and work in various mediums to create visuals that leave lasting impressions.
