I specialize in contemporary figurative watercolor painting.

Some musicians say that they see music in color. I see art as three-dimensional dance with layers and elements flowing in front and behind one another in a surreal motion. The border used in some pieces creates a story that starts to reveal only after close inspection. My ocean and desert paintings carry this style with intertwining layers and translucence. 

I am excited to be here in the San Francisco Bay Area working with diverse people who value the creative process and are supportive of artists. This melting pot of people and cultures are the seeds of my creativity, motivating me to push boundaries that bring people together in their love of art. 

Primarily a watercolorist, I work in a variety of subject matter. My current set of series includes Speaking Rock (desert), Images of Me (dance), and Hanging on a Wave (ocean).With each painting, when I release control, and allow intuition to take over, a flowing movement that is uniquely ME emerges in the most free and surprising way. The dance that I do with my art IS my happy place.
