Thank you for visiting my online studio!

I was born in Berkeley, California and I have been making art since I was a kid. I studied painting and graphic design at the Art Institute of Boston, and lived in NYC for several years where I was in an art punk band called Lady Magma. I recently relocated back to the San Francisco Bay Area where I paint in my home studio while raising my son and daughter.

Art is a performance and practice for me. I often work from photos, memory or plein air, capturing the space between figurative and abstraction while exploring various landscapes and cities I have traveled to. I am greatly inspired by color and quick, rhythmic brush strokes and like my paintings to have a fresh feeling.
