As a mixed-media artist based in San Francisco for the past 25 years, I find inspiration in my childhood memories and experiences. Growing up in Fort Hauchuca, Arizona, I discovered my love for art at a yound age. Rather than watching TV, I preferred to spend my time drawing with crayons on paper and coloring books. It brought me great joy and happiness to create art that I could mail to my father, who was serving in the army in Vietnam. Through my art, I was able to connect with him and express my feelings in a way that words could not.

​

My Mixed-media pieces incorporate a range of materials and techniques, from paint and collage to found objects and digital elements. Each piece tells a story and invites the viewer to reflect on their own experiences and emotions. Creating art is essential to my life and brings me happiness and fulfillment as I continue to grow and explore new paths.
