Revealing the sacred and mystical in nature, is my quest in my work. Using color, form and symbolic narrative, I aim to capture the sense of the magical and express the impossibly beautiful things I see on Earth.

Growing up outside New York City, the colors, tastes and textures of Manhattan’s diverse communities offered early inspiration. I studied at Parsons, Art Students League and the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. I then completed my BFA at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts and Tufts University and moved West to pursue graduate studies at San Francisco State University.

I have exhibited in galleries across the United States including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Artists Gallery, Art Expo New York and the Ritz Carlton.
