Fine Art Prints

I thought I was painting cactuses. I was painting my story.

I began this series believing my fascination with cactuses came from places I had traveled and loved. Somewhere along the way, I realized the subject was only the beginning.

These paintings became a story of resilience, identity, and learning to take up space.

Rooted. Radiant. Unbreakable. Untamed. Becoming.

Each painting became a chapter in a story I didn't realize I was telling. I've been painting for more than twenty years, but this is the series that finally made me call myself an artist.

For years, people have told me I should write my story. Maybe I was never supposed to write it. Maybe I was supposed to paint it.
