BIO
Art has been a passion all my life. Painting, drawing, and design are media I have been doing since living and growing up in Northern California.
Art schools I have studied with Include the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, La Reparata Art School in Florence, Italy as well as a summer course through Sacramento State University in Florence Italy, and a summer program in at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico. I have a BA of Arts from San Francisco, Ca and an MA in Art from Sacramento State University. I have also taught art in at-risk environments and community colleges.
I currently live and work in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
