Lucid Art 777

About Me

I am a Bay Area–based artist, born in Southern California, whose journey with art began in quiet moments. Growing up with liver disease and type 1 diabetes, I often found myself needing stillness. In that stillness, I found drawing.

Art became more than something to do. It became a place to feel, to process, and to exist fully. By middle school, I was studying portraiture through books and practicing daily, slowly learning the language of faces. With every sketch, I discovered not only improvement, but connection.

I am endlessly inspired by people. The curve of a smile, the strength in a gaze, the softness in someone’s features. I’ve learned no two faces are ever the same. I believe there is a distinct and quiet beauty in everyone. Drawing people allows me to honor that beauty and translate emotion into form.

When you support my work, you are supporting a story shaped by resilience, feeling, and deep appreciation for human individuality. Each portrait I create carries gratitude for life, for growth, and for the extraordinary beauty found in every face.
