What was this magic clear substance that stopped the decaying process and held nature so still? Epoxy resin. And just like that — my new artist journey began.
THE JOURNEY
A Fascination with Flowers & Nature
I'm no stranger to a flowing river, a walk through the woods, or a stroll down the beach. There's something about being out there that grounds me. It always has.
I've always had a fascination with flowers. Their beauty. Their uniqueness. Their life is so short — but in that short time, they give us the most incredible sense of wonder. And I always thought — what if that beauty didn't have to fade?
It's no wonder that life has taken me down this path — preserving nature, trapped in time, so we can enjoy it in our own homes. Bringing the outdoors right inside.
The Moment Everything Changed
One day, I was scrolling through my feed, and there it was — this gorgeous dining table made of wood and a clear substance that suspended these beautiful flowers of all colors, shapes, and sizes. All together in a shiny finish that enhanced both the wood and the floral.
I was awestruck. Mesmerized. My mind swirled with promise and creation — with possibilities. What if I could create something like that? A table that could bring nature inside, hold it in place, untouched by time?
Ten years of oil painting realism — the foundation of everything
Ten Years of Oil Painting
From a small upstairs art studio in downtown Visalia, I spent a decade mastering oil painting realism — learning light, texture, and the patience that every great piece demands.

Epoxy Resin
What was this magic clear substance that stopped the decaying process and held nature so still? Epoxy resin. And just like that, my new artist journey began. New beginnings.
The Shop
From that upstairs studio to a large artist shop in an industrial zone with a roll-up door — a space where I can sand wood, dry flowers, and pour resin. A space big enough for all my treasures.
THE PASSION
Living the Dream
And I became addicted. This is my passion. It's all I think about. It's what I dream about. I wake up and I can't wait to get into the shop. I'm living my dream.
Every piece is handcrafted. One of a kind. A conversation starter. A statement. River tables with real stones from rivers I've walked. Ocean art that brings the tide into your living room. Bottle art that turns a celebration into a forever memory.
Each piece is grounding. It connects you to nature without ever leaving your home. And this isn't just furniture — this is luxury. A piece that will be in the family for generations to come.
