I am a painter of suggestion, interested in motion, storytelling, and the sincerity of mark-making. I use the seduction of rhythm and texture to create structures and form. These elements become the basis for emotional bookmarks on the surface of our memories. Because of their fluid nature, our imagination becomes fired by these instances, enhancing a reality we want to know and one we think we’ve seen. I want to translate that sense into my writing. I am a graduate of California State University at Los Angeles and continued my master’s work at Otis College of Art and Design. I have exhibited throughout the country and overseas.
