About

Inspired by Nature

I have been an Artist, Ceramic Sculptor and Jewelry Designer for 25 years.  Before that I had an artist's mind, 

but didn’t know it.  I have participated in Santa Cruz County Open Studios, and had work 

in Galleries and Exhibits throughout the Monterey and San Francisco Bay areas.

I have spent many years completing coursework at Cabrillo College and Monterey Peninsula College 

in Ceramics, Art and Jewelry Design. I graduated from San Jose State University in 2008 

with 2 degrees in Sculptural Fine Art and Art Education, focusing on Small Metals and Ceramics.  

In 2009, I completed my Teaching Credential in Visual Art.  Since that time, I enjoy being focused 

on high school student artists while teaching Ceramics and 3D Art & Design.
