I have studied ceramics at several community colleges for nine years. I combined all the different techniques from my different professors to achieve my own unique style. I currently work out of my studio at my home where I mix my own glazes and fire my work by myself.  I competed in the Orange County Fair Fine Art competitions and P. V. Art Center during which I have won several awards; I have one piece that’s in the O. C. Fair permanent collection. My art has been displayed at Palos Verdes Art Center gallery, Promenade, and CA101.

I started to learn how to make wire jewelry from YouTube last April. I practiced day and night. Making wire jewelry is painful for my fingers, even though the calluses on my fingers are getting thicker. But when I see my finished work, that sense of accomplishment is hard to describe in words. I have fallen in love with wire jewelry.
