I have focused my life around my love of art. I graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle in 1993 specializing in Illustration and graphic design. After graduation I work as a portrait in Seattle for 5 years. I moved to Portland for two years and learn silk screen printing. I moved back to Eugene in 2001 to raise my kids and be closer to my family. While the kids were small I focused on watercolor painting and freelance graphic design. I received my bachelors of science  from the University of Oregon in 2014. Where I focused on painting and printmaking.
