I was born into a family of artists, and artmaking came naturally to me from an early age. With direction from my mother, I pursued formal training in both art and art education.

​

I have over 20 years of experience teaching art across public schools, universities, and both public and private settings. While I have worked with all age groups, my heart is in working with adults—particularly those seeking self-improvement, clarity, or renewal through the creative process. My passion as an instructor is helping people recognize the connections between art and life, and how one continually informs the other.

 

While I credit my mother, my lineage, and my education for my technical skills, my most profound lessons came from witnessing students heal through art—and eventually, from healing myself through the same process.

​

Today, I combine formal training with deep listening, symbolism, color, and spiritual awareness to create artwork that does more than decorate a space. My pieces are meant to speak, resonate, and support reflection and growth.

I invite you to explore this site, and when something resonates, reach out. I would be honored to help you renew, heal, and grow through art.
