I am a mixed media artist who was born in the mountains of Switzerland and now live and work in Petaluma, CA. In my work I explore themes related to environmental studies and the effects of climate change. I utilize drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and floral elements to create my pieces. My grandmother owned a floral shop in Bern and working with her in the summers was where my fascination with flowers began. Moving to the coast of California aided in igniting a fascination with the ocean. Many of us think of the ocean as an endless expanse, but the reality is that no part of it is free from anthropogenic impact. The aqueous nature of my work is inspired by what lies beneath this immense surface and how the natural processes of our oceans are changing faster than ever before.

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Painting and Drawing from San Francisco State University in 2012 and curated art exhibits for the following nine years before moving to Sonoma County. I hold building and working in artistic communities very highly and look forward to continuing to collaborate with and promote fellow artists while also working on my own art practice.

I donate 10% of all art sales to Mission Blue.

“Mission Blue is an initiative of the Sylvia Earle Alliance to ignite public support for the protection of Hope Spots; special places that are vital to the health of the ocean. Hope Spots can become a reality and form a global network of marine protected areas large enough to restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet.”
