My paintings often begin by combining images that refer to a world in which there is an unknown potential for abundance with an internal landscape of dreams, meditative states, and the comforts of home life. I develop these compositions by first assembling a collage or set of drawings. The paintings’ images reveal themselves in unexpected contexts
I work with oil paints, watercolors, and various drawing mediums.
I received an AS Degree at Moorpark College, and a BFA in Drawing and Painting at California State University, Long Beach, (June, 2012).
