My work is deeply influenced by the raw, untamed beauty of nature and the intricate stories it tells through texture and form. At Chaparral Ridge Studio, I seek to capture the essence of the natural world—its ridges, hollows, and wild expanses—through art that invites a tactile and emotional connection. Using layers and textures, my creations mirror the landscapes I draw inspiration from, celebrating the imperfections and harmony found in the earth’s elements. Each piece I create is a reflection of my belief that art, like nature, should be experienced with all the senses—a journey that blends sight, touch, and emotion into a shared space of discovery. Through my work, I hope to evoke a sense of grounding and curiosity, encouraging viewers to reconnect with the rhythms and textures of the natural world, and perhaps, to find their own stories hidden within the layers.

A lot of my inspiration comes from nature and everyday life—things that are raw, unpredictable, and beautifully flawed. Texture, for me, is a way to bridge what we see with what we feel, inviting curiosity, reflection, and maybe even a little touch.
