About

I’m a San Francisco Bay Area artist. My fascination with visual arts began while volunteering in my daughter’s kindergarten clay class. From the first touch, I fell in love with clay’s tactile qualities and limitless potential. I studied handbuilding clay and bronze sculpture at West Valley Junior College, exhibiting in local galleries and art fairs, and earned my BFA from San Jose State University in 2009. My artistic journey has since included painting, printmaking, collage, and sculpture.

Currently focused on mixed media painting and collage, I’m driven by exploration and experimentation with surface and materials. I believe embracing diverse mediums leads to unexpected and exciting outcomes.

I’m inspired by my surroundings and drawn to weathered surfaces. Through layering and texture, I blend traces of past and present to blur reality, capturing memories that reveal the depth of time. My materials include acrylics, beeswax, graphite, inks, oils, photo transfers, and collage, all layered to bring my creations to life.
