About Me
I’m a Los Angeles–based freelance artist creating elevated, one-of-a-kind experiences through live illustration and digital storytelling. From the LA Fair to luxury weddings, I design custom guest portraits in hand-drawn, watercolor, and graphic styles—turning fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes. My work is deeply inspired by the rhythm of LA, captured through an ongoing sketchbook watercolor collection that documents the city’s character, culture, and everyday beauty. Beyond live events, I create animations and short-form content for Instagram and TikTok, blending art, design, and storytelling into visuals that feel both refined and real.
Sketchbook Series
My sketchbook series is an evolving collection of mixed-media works that capture my life and experiences in Los Angeles. Through pencil drawings, watercolor, and oil pastels, I document the moments, places, and details that make the city feel like home. Each piece reflects what I love about LA—its culture, energy, and everyday beauty—told through a personal, expressive lens that blends observation with emotion.
Custom Guest Portraits
I create custom guest portraits as a live experience, capturing people in the moment through hand-drawn, watercolor, and digital styles. From weddings to private events, each piece is designed as a personal, elevated keepsake. I also offer handmade artwork, including custom Valentine’s / holiday cards and one-of-a-kind designs, bringing a thoughtful, artistic touch to any occasion.
