About the Artist

My life is a compilation of nomadic, bio-networking experiences. In my discovery of the universe's natural beauty - what the sea, wind and people leave behind becomes my art. I collect bits and pieces of existence, looking for ways to interpret the astonishing relationship between humans and the environment. Always creatively involved in community I have worked as a children's art teacher, exhibit coordinator, set painter, and mural tour guide. It was during my teen years near Chicago that I began to blossom as a distinguished artist. Graduating with a BFA from Laguna College of Art and Design and a MLA from Naropa Unversity in Oakland, CA furthered my proficiency in Fine Art, Cosmology and Spirituality. Creativity is a great blessing and will be eternally part of my life.
