I live life with enthusiasm, choosing to paint as a way of processing what I see and feel—both to have an immediate and vital experience, and to create an experience for others to explore. Art is the bridge between being and sensing and doing. Making art connects me to the greater universe: to people, places, ideas, and romance. It’s essential.

 

I am a Bay Area native, a third generation Californian, and have lived in Marin County for over 27 years. I earned a Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley and studied monotype printmaking at the Idyllwild Arts Academy in Southern California. I have been working from my studio at the Industrial Center Building in Sausalito, CA, for 15 years and have been exhibiting actively for the last 18 years in solo, group, and juried exhibitions.  My work is found in numerous collections both at home, nationally, and abroad.
