About The Artist
I am a Bay Area–based contemporary artist working across painting, photography, and mixed media. My work explores identity, transformation, and the evolving relationship between the inner and outer self. Through layered abstraction and figuration, I examine how personal history, memory, and lived experience shape who we become. I work out of studios in Sausalito and Oakland and am currently focused on my ongoing body of work, Finding Self.

Her work explores identity, self-construction, and transformation, often combining layered abstraction and figuration. Drawing from personal history and lived experience, her practice examines how the self is shaped, concealed, and reclaimed. She maintains studios in Sausalito and Oakland.
