When my now husband, Josh, and I started dating, we had a transcontinental relationship between London and Dubai. For our first Christmas together, we decided to travel to Italy. On this trip we stopped in various cities, though Florence was our clear favorite. We would meander through the Florentine streets hand-in-hand, music and sounds would waft through the air, each turn of a corner unveiled a new delight for the eyes, and the rich tapestry of art and history came alive around us. There was a vibrancy that was palpable.

We’ve come back to Florence many times since, and will continue to do so for many more. You’ll find us sitting in the Piazza del Duomo, watching the bustle of the city unfold around us, as the sun sets over Santa Maria del Fiore.

Get to Know the Austin Artist:
I use acrylic paint on canvas to create vibrant, ethereal compositions. Bold, abstract backgrounds lay the foundation, line-drawn architectural details come to life using acrylic ink markers, and oversized flowers are painted in. The interplay of contrasting technique, scale and colour employed in my work mirrors the contrasts found in urban landscapes.

The canvas becomes a vibrant playground, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of nature in urban spaces. Each painting acts as a portal, transporting viewers worldwide, encouraging them to embrace the unique beauty of cities. My art fosters exploration, urging individuals to uncover the stories beneath the surface, capturing moments and encouraging a broader understanding of our interconnected world.
