I am an artist and pattern designer creating surface pattern designs inspired by the largest to smallest details of the coastline where I live. I look to the tiny treasures I find along the shoreline, to the plants and flowers that line the trails, to the vast expanse of the Pacific and its ever changing colors. I can never return from a walk at the beach without an interesting stone, beautiful shell or a photo of a found pattern. My English roots are planted on this Southern Californian coastline and while I love these sunny climes I also love a gloomy day at the beach feeling the cold on my cheeks.
