For the past five years, roses have been at the heart of my work—each painting a love letter to beauty, imperfection, and the communities I call home. What began as a technical study grew into an obsession, evolving from small canvases to bold, wall-sized murals. The first time I painted a rose on a wall, it felt like my voice finally matched my vision—big, unapologetic, and alive. Every rose I paint begins with a photo taken on neighborhood walks, capturing color, movement, and character from Los Angeles to the Bay Area. These blooms are more than flowers—they're symbols of heritage, growth, and the soul of a place. My work spans private commissions, public murals, and apparel design, but painting is where my heart lives. I create to connect—to honor the beauty in our shared spaces and stories. With each brushstroke, I hope to turn ordinary walls into lasting moments of wonder.
