Inspiration moves me
A concept unfolds
I risk following my heart
Colors abound
Finding form
Bold shapes appear
My mind worries
My brush prevails
Overcoming my flaws
Challenging my strengths
I am grateful, centered, at peace
Indulging my passions
I paint
Born and raised in California and Mexico, my Bachelor of Arts degree is from the University of Washington. My areas of concentration were in painting, drawing, graphic design and photography, all of which I continue to study today. I use live models and my photography for inspiration, as well as the great works of Matisse, Milton Avery and a myriad of other fine artists.
