I began working with watercolors around five years ago when I realized that it was a material with a lot of range and an ideal way to create vibrant artworks using minimal materials.
I am currently working on a natural observation watercolor series focusing on plants native to San Francisco as well as medicinal plants and their uses. More will appear here as I finish my pieces.

I’m currently working on a graphic novel titled “Pleistocene”, created entirely in Procreate. Set in Indonesia 40,000 years ago, when it was still possible to walk from mainland Asia to Australia, where the worlds oldest recorded art has been found in caves, the book follows a young traveler and imagines their experiences in relationship to the creation of ancient artworks. Based on archeological research and its correlation with cultural research, the graphic novel will explore themes of human migration, survival, and the experiences of Neolithic humans.
Here are some of the first pages
Thanks for taking time to check out my graphic novel, more to come!
Since 2023, my iPad is where I catalog my ideas, design, and work through creative concepts for my projects using Procreate. It serves as a central space where all my ideas can be sketched out and played with in a virtual format, allowing me to explore, refine, and develop my artistic visions. Unlike my physical sketchbook, which I use as a meditative and playful space, I use Procreate for brainstorming murals, zines, or other creative endeavors. It helps me keep everything organized and in one place. The “cloud” format means I can freely experiment with styles, color palettes, and compositions, while still obtaining a visual representation of my ideas. Additionally, it enables me to collaborate with other artists, clients, and creators from around the world, allowing us to share ideas and work together on projects.
