watercolor / gouache

Vintage clothing and pattern, along with the sensation of floating, freedom, and relaxation were my inspirations for this painting. I love playing around with light glistening on water and the depth it brings when a body is half-submerged.

Inspired by my love of vintage photographs and our little seaside town of Santa Cruz, this gouache painting takes you back to a simpler time.

Inspired by my love of vintage photographs and our little seaside town of Santa Cruz, the mood with this gouache painting transports you somewhere sunny and magical.

California is my home, and the giant redwood trees here are a constant influence.
