My mother was an artist and my first teacher. She taught me to observe closely—to draw not only what I saw, but what I felt—nourishing my imagination and my artist’s eye. I still carry art materials and a camera wherever I go. When a subject fascinates me, when light falls just right on a face or a distant scene, I sketch it immediately or photograph it as visual stock to return to later.

Years of working in advertising—on projects guided by creative directors, art directors, and private clients—taught me the importance of listening. I developed and realized the ideas of exceptionally creative minds, helping them achieve work they envisioned but could not execute without a particular skill set.
This experience trained me to evaluate and anticipate not only the final outcome, but also to fine-tune the process itself—facilitating a clear path from concept to realization while honoring the original vision.

I am intrigued by people—drawn to them and to their backstories. There is nothing more powerful than connecting with others and experiencing their cultures as a source of inspiration. Simply opening your eyes can reveal an endless depth of stories, gestures, and shared humanity.
My work is informed by this curiosity and connection, as well as by an ongoing exploration of materials. I work in oil paint, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, and pastels, and I continue to seek out new mediums and techniques. Learning and experimentation are essential to my practice, pushing the boundaries of my abilities and keeping the work evolving.

In high school I designed and created the sets for the drama department for my elective credit. From that experience I became the preeminent decorative painter in my area of Los Angeles, California. It led me to wonderful projects and experiences for about 25 years. From ladders to scissor lifts, hands-on design and construction, I was one busy lady. 2008 put an end to that. My father's failing health meant that I was on-call for him and could no longer commit to any projects.
