About

Color. Mood. Beauty. These are the forces that motivate me to paint. While my subjects may vary, the common threads are the beauty of nature and the vibrancy of color. I draw inspiration from my travels, whether across the globe or around the neighborhood, and seek to represent empowering moments of beauty.

I was born in Philadelphia, grew up in Connecticut, and was seduced by California when I attended Stanford University. After a career as an intellectual property attorney, I followed my heart to focus on my artwork..
