After trying so hard to be the smartest girl, I chose to be happy.   Though, it took years to arrive.

I didn't know much about art until later in life.  Ever since then, it's been an endless creative binge.  Art has been my saving grace in euphoria and misery.  I am fortunate to have such creative wealth.

My abstract paintings are in search of honesty, fearlessness and vulnerability.  It's the concession to life's rawness, in all its exquisite details and rugged reality.

My MFA in Pictorial is from San Jose State University.  Besides fine art, I enjoy brainstorming new ideas, traveling, not cleaning and adore things with wheels.
