As a child she took strongly to the world of paintings as she had access to brushes and books from her mother, Amy Huddleston, a Seattle-based painter. Her strong foundation in observational drawing and painting informs the work she makes from her imagination. Her work is emotionally charged, consisting of made up heads and large, eerie, representative figures in dreamlike landscapes. She is driven by a strong connection to her materials (paint, paper, canvas), and gravitates toward painterly work. Her influences include Bonnard, Amy Silman, Alice Neel, Lucien Freud, among others. She recently created an animation for the Portland based musician, Dustin Silva, and used her more technical side to illustrate a book about somatics for musicians by Zane Morris.
