ABOUT
Paint Nectar Studio is the culmination of my entire art practice - Painting, illustration and design. I spend most of my time just making things, for myself and for others. My long-term goal is to start an inclusive studio space in Portland that serves as a hub for artists of all disciplines. Stay tuned! (I need money first)
​
My logo of the running hare is meant to symbolize the frantic chase felt when an idea or inspiration strikes and the moment that follows of trying to get something down on paper. The spirit of the hare is a nod towards the restless nature of being an artist. Never feeling settled or satisfied, always sprinting towards the next creative carrot.
Professionally, I've taught painting workshops as a Resident Artist at The Resort at Paws Up, a luxury ranch in western Montana. I've shown in galleries in New York, Chicago, Missoula, and Park City. Some of my large-scale murals are tucked away in private homes across New York and Park City.​
