About

TLDR; I love to paint with unbridled expression. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it.

Art is my sanctuary and truest form of expression—a space where time dissolves and purpose is realized. In these moments of creative flow, I find rest from rumination—the state of Being, rather than doing.

My artistic journey is guided by curiosity rather than convention. I do not adhere to a singular style, choosing instead an intuitive path that honors curiosity, experimentation, and natural evolution. This manifests in diverse ways: sometimes through careful observation and technical painterly skills, other times through unbridled, gestural expression—each path leading to its own joys and revelations.

As my practice deepens, I increasingly find myself working from a place of no-mind, allowing each piece to unveil its own narrative. When complete, I often step back to experience the work anew, curious about what universal truths might surface in this dialogue between artist, artwork, and observer—what gems the muse might share when I truly listen to her call.

May these works spark in you the same spirit of discovery and wonder that brought them into being.

~ Emerson

Where the magic happens

Nestled in the verdant heart of Carmel Valley Village—an enchanting enclave of Monterey County—my studio serves as both sanctuary and source of endless inspiration. Here, amidst rolling hills and dappled California light, each piece in this collection is born from my hands and heart. The studio's location, a hidden gem along California's storied coast, provides a rare confluence of natural beauty and artistic energy that infuses my work.

The valley's dramatic interplay of light and shadow, its morning mists and golden afternoons, weave their way into my canvases. This intimate connection to place is evident throughout my work, whether in the subtle color harmonies of my impressionist pieces or the bold emotional statements of my abstract compositions.

I invite you to come explore the beauty of this sacred place and stop in my humble studio where I can be found most days painting (and perhaps dancing).
