Becoming an artist was about finding my voice and giving expression to the great mystery that is this life. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I landed in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California in 1999 and have called this area home ever since. As a self-taught artist I have explored many mediums but return again and again to acrylic paints for their versatility and depth, applying them in thick, delicious layers or as wet, dripping cascades spilling down the canvas.

​

Greatly influenced by Marc Chagall, my paintings are recognizable for their bright, bold, and vivid colors. ​In addition, my style is rooted in the intuitive painting process, which allows each brush stroke, each color, each movement to be the means through which an inner-knowing guides my paintings toward their final form. Dedicated to this process, I became a Master Facilitator of Intuitive Painting & the Expressive Arts in 2024. In addition to painting, I make room for play and discovery through using old books or gift boxes destined for the landfill transforming them from potential trash into innovative and unique assemblage art pieces.​

 

I have exhibited my art locally in several solo shows and participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout northern California. In 2016 I traveled to Japan and was part of the Tokyo International Art Fair, taking me back to where I lived and worked in my early twenties which has greatly influenced my artwork. You can find my art in private collections throughout California and the west coast but it has also made its way across the United States and beyond, to London, Germany, and Japan. My assemblage art pieces are represented by Gallery 10 in Sutter Creek, California while my paintings are shown in a variety of rotating locations and exhibits.
