Born and raised in Southern California, I started as a self-trained traditional artist at a very young age. My education began in senior citizen classes since advanced art was not accessible in my area until college. I trained and studied at Riverside Community College before transferring to Art Center College of Design where I obtained my BFA. Since graduating, I have been able to dive into multiple paths through my art career including art education, modeling, and illustration. I am continuously excited to enhance my talent and provide my skills wherever needed. Currently residing in Laguna Beach, I contribute to the art scene as a freelance illustrator and educator, with work featured at Laguna Beach Fine Art Gallery and various online galleries. I enjoy collaborating with clients to visualize ideas—from book illustrations to logos and branding—and continually seek opportunities to grow as an artist, educator, and designer.…Born and raised in Southern California, I started as a self-trained traditional artist at a very young age.
