The Artists
Encaustic painting instructor, working artist and advocate for the arts in Walnut Creek, California. My paintings explore personal stories with themes of healing, hope, gratitude, and human connection.

Whether it be welding, photography, acrylic or encaustic painting, I find art serves as an effective medium to explore themes relating to the political, natural and built environment. I am an East Bay-based artist who explores these themes by integrating color relationships, texture, composition and space.
