Artist Statement:
I am inspired by trees and other forms in nature. I create whimsical landscapes and figures, often representing the connection and disconnection between humans and nature.


Bio:
I have been drawn to visual art from a very early age, born in San Diego county, and raised in the small town of Ramona, I began doodling as many children do, with colored pencils and crayons. After graduating high school, I decided to attend CSU Chico when the college offered me a partial Cross-country scholarship. I graduated in May of 2014 with my BA in art education, and studio art with an emphasis in drawing and painting.
I taught art for 3 years in Manhattan Beach California, which inspired me to go back to school to get my Single Subject Teaching Credential in Art, and my Masters of Art in Education. I now live back in Ramona with my Husband, and I teach 1st-8th grade in Escondido.
