I am a coastal and mountain artist with roots going back three generations in Santa Cruz and Yosemite. I’m a painter, muralist, screen printer, and wood worker. Decades of curious observation surfing, hiking, backpacking, and traveling, detailed by notes and sketches in my journals, are the foundation of my work. My paintings are inspired by moments of awe and wonder.

Creativity began as a small child encouraged by artistic parents then grew to time and energy dedicated to personal adventures and the creative process in Kauai. I earned a painting degree from San Jose State University, with a double minor in art history and business. My training continued for years with apprenticeships, mentorships, and global travels, always taking notes and sketching.. I have been a full time working artist for nine years while living and working in rural Bonny Doon.
