Raised in Tranquillity, California, I have been surrounded by art my whole life. Having three grandparents from an artistic background, painting was something I always appreciated, but didn’t ever try until college. I attended California Polytechnic State University where I received a degree in Liberal Studies with a minor in Art. Graduation came much before my appetite for painting had been adequately fed.

I continue to paint on my own, self-teaching and learning along the way. I take classes at community colleges and at local galleries. I once painted for a candid audience, and now paint to nourish my soul. Emotions are revealed, energy let loose and spilled on the canvas.

I have been the Holy Rosary Auction Class Art Project Chair for many years; helping students Pre-K through 8th grade create collaborative works of art that have sold for as much as $3500 each.

I live in Edmonds, Washington with my husband and our 9 children.
