About Me

Expressing the universal experience of grief & acceptance.

As a response to the 2017 wild fires in Sonoma and Napa Counties, I created the Firestorm Mosaic project and worked exclusively on that series for one year. In turn, that experience inspired me to create contemporary mixed-media mosaics. I have lived between Northern California & Northern Nevada all of my life and currently reside in Reno, NV. When in wine country, I worked in tasting rooms while earning B.A. degrees in both Art History and Painting from Sonoma State University.

My current broken heart series reflects the grief that we all experience over the course of our lives. When our hearts break, they are forced to expand - leaving empty voids. It is possible to grow beautifully within these gaps as the scar tissues heal and become a permanent part of us. From a technical perspective, I enjoy having a focused concept that allows me to experiment with color combinations and a variety of materials.
