A quiet person by nature, I love the solitude of my studio, walking with my head in the clouds; a phrase that has followed me around since childhood, as well as daydreamer, aloof…the list goes on.  With age you learn to know yourself, and I do live in my head, lots of stories in there, lots of noise.  

 

I realize now I have always been curious and discovered that I loved taking classes and pushing myself to learn new things..  While working in San Francisco City government, I decided to study something just for me, I was already living my life in a field I had chosen, so I thought graphic design sounded like a fun thing to learn for myself.  I loved the basis of it, to communicate intricate concepts in a simple and beautiful way- the balance of form and function.  So I studied graphic design at UC Berkeley.

 

That graphic design foundation has influenced all my work.  There is so much noise we have to sift through, so much visual stimulation, that I navigate to the use of white space to draw attention to the focal point while letting your eyes rest.  Art is interactive, each of us has a unique reaction to every piece we see​

I hope you find my watercolors to be a place to rest your eyes while letting your imagination enjoy a little daydreaming...
