I graduated with a fine arts degree from University of California San Francisco and received continued training at the University of California Irvine.

“I like to think that my work is centered on representative reality, the problems of existence and the dignity of the individual, usually American in nature. My art is a reflection of who I am and what I see.”

My compositions are gathered from my diverse experiences and communicated in my choice of images and my emotional responses to them. Traveling and living in Europe has enabled me to see America through different eyes and more greatly appreciate its idiosyncrasies. They are composites of real and imagined sources. Usually I construct each composition from various objects or models that I photograph. I add, re-arrange, delete and make-up information; whatever it takes to achieve a strong composition and create a picture which conveys my current and evolving concerns.
