She continues painting at her home studio, inspired by the Midwestern landscape, friendship, and the color red.
Artist Statement: My work focuses on my own experiences manipulated with color and composition. Taking a close look at moments with friends, animals, and nature. Cropping in on details part of a bigger story, asking for the viewer to understand their own narrative through subject and light.
