Welcome to my website.
We start here with an image of the public reacting to an event they see on the news.
Some are upset, some are angry, some are entertained.
Some sensationalize the event…
earthquake, genocide, tsunami, tornado, war, flood, pandemic, mass shooting,

About Me
I was born and raised in the Bay Area, and currently live and work in the Outer Richmond District of San Francisco.
I am deeply invested in San Francisco. From the beauty of its shoreline to the intensity of its people. I’ve witnessed the destruction of the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989, brought my children up through San Francisco’s public school system, and watched my alma matter, the great San Francisco Art Institute, go under, and the Salesforce Tower rise up.
I am a gen x woman, I am many things, but at my core, I am an ARTIST. I am driven to create representational art, much of it allegorical, telling stories of the contrast of humans’ ability to create, construct, and innovate versus the destructive forces of nature.
Thank you so much for viewing. And of course, many items are available for purchase ;-)
