I grew up a child of artist parents in Trinidad California, a small town known for its rain, fog, and coastal scenery. I spent most of my time outside at the beach, rivers, and in the woods which created a strong connection to nature.  I studied drawing, painting, collage and ceramics; graduating from Humboldt State University with a bachelor’s degree in art.

The Pacific Northwest and Mojave Desert provide a natural beauty that continues to inspire the development of my work.  In my studio I can call on past and current experiences, visions and illustrations to create these unique impressions of the natural world.  My physical journeys are reflected in my designs and I am intrigued to follow this path and see where it takes my art.  I keep exploring the outdoors to develop this vision of the natural world as I see it.
