About Me

I began taking art lessons in 2010 and went on to receive awards in local, statewide and national competitions eventually showing my art at the Crocker Art Museum, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, the Yellowstone Art Museum and the California State Fair. My art has been displayed in galleries in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Sacramento and Folsom California.

Before becoming an artist, my area of expertise and professional work life were centered around computers and technical writing. Once I picked up a paint brush, I left that world behind and have never looked back.

I transition easily between representational and abstract art and between the mediums of acrylic and oils. This variety allows me to create a range of work that is pleasing to a broad diversity of interests. When painting my more abstract compositions I have a free-form way of layering color, paper and line. The process of layering and removing and layering again is one that fascinates me and helps to create a history within my pieces. More recently I have added fabric and thread to my collages giving them depth and texture and giving the pieces an even more personal touch.

My artwork has been called painterly, inventive, fun and colorful, with a little wit thrown in on the side. I want to have fun creating my art and for those who see it to feel a sense of joy and connection. I hope viewers will do the same thing I do when I finish a painting—that is to smile.

If you'd like to see my art in person, stop by my studio is located at my home in Galt, CA. If you would like to visit my studio, please email me with your phone number so we can set up a time for your visit.
