About

I am a printmaker and illustrator based in Waco, Texas focused on minimal and handmade design. As a landscape designer by day, I am inspired by the natural world, city skylines, and her tiny chihuahua, Ichabod. I have a love for simple and handmade art which I explore through both digital illustration and traditional linocut printing methods.

Artist Statement

My work explores simplicity, texture, and the quiet beauty of handmade design through printmaking and illustration. I draw inspiration from the natural world, urban skylines, and the small personal details that shape everyday life. Working across digital illustration and traditional linocut printmaking, I am interested in balancing clean, minimal forms with the tactile imperfections of hand-carved processes. My background in landscape design deeply influences the way I observe shape, rhythm, and space, often informing the organic compositions and architectural elements present throughout my work. At the center of my practice is a desire to create art that feels thoughtful, approachable, and human. Whether depicting landscapes, city scenes, or moments inspired by my chihuahua, Ichabod, I aim to celebrate simplicity and the character found in handcrafted work.
