My Story

My earliest memories consist of doodling on various surfaces, including books, walls, tables, and sidewalks - my creative spirit knew no limits! From starting formal art teaching in 2001 to obtaining a BA in Creative Arts from San Jose State University in 2005, my artistic endeavors have been shaped by a passion for mixed media art that I discovered in 2007. I found a supportive community that embraced my quirky, artistic nature by blogging about my journey as a mother and artist, attending art retreats like Artfest, and connecting with fellow creatives such as the Bay Area Art Sisters. Over the years, I have transitioned from teaching private art classes to offering online classes, workshops at studios and retreats, and private events nationwide. In my free time, I love adventuring in nature with my kiddos or staying cozy at home in my studio.
