About Me
My exploration of abstract painting started in 2015. Abstract expression became my way of letting go of my subconscious thoughts and emotions ...with no rules and no boundaries...art gave me purpose.
Born in San Francisco, CA and having lived in the Bay Area for many years up until college, I then moved to Tucson, AZ where I took my first course in Contemporary Art at the University of Arizona in 2002. There I learned about the influences of Contemporary Art. As a business major I later gained an internship at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in downtown Tucson as an assistant. MOCA sparked my first fascination of becoming an artist one day, which didn't come until many years later. After college I moved to San Diego, CA needing to be close to the ocean and there I started school at the San Diego Art Academy at night and continued to work during the day. I stayed loving San Diego for 18 years.
During the pandemic, I sold my home and moved back to my hometown Union City, CA to be with my family & friends again.
My paintings reflect a blend of inspirations from nature, love and moments in every day life both from living in Northern & Southern California. My pieces are in acrylic medium and I love to practice between contrasts of dark and light as well as motion and depth. Thank you for visiting!
