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.
