About Me
When I was 17 years old I left Southern California and came to San Francisco to start my life. I chose San Francisco because I wanted to experience a life that I’d only ever dreamed of. I wanted to get away from basic suburbia and encounter diversity, creativity, eccentric souls, and open mindedness. I wanted to experience city life as an artist, as well as grow and live in such a way that would make my younger self proud.
I am now 26 years old and still reside in San Francisco with my 7yo Lab-Pit mix, Buju, and two RES turtles, Cheech and Chong. In 2021, I moved into my own studio at Hunters Point Navy Shipyard in San Francisco’s Bayview district, where I am now a proud member of The Shipyard Artist community. When I’m not in the studio or working as a nanny, I love gardening, cooking, reading, postcarding, visiting museums, hanging out with my loved ones, and spending time outdoors. I’m a passionate environmentalist, and a current student at San Francisco State University. I am reaching to obtain a B.A. in Humanities with a minor in Museum Studies with hopes to one day work as an exhibition designer in a San Francisco museum. I would love to eventually travel abundantly, build a sustainable home, and present my art on a global scale.
I love to paint for many reasons. The act of creation conveys itself as an emotional outlet that allows us to express ourselves and allocate our feelings and thoughts in ways that words cannot. Every piece holds it’s own meaning both to myself and whomever takes them home. I am grateful to be able to share myself in such a personal yet simple way.
My work is made up of abstract, original mixed media drawings and acrylic paintings. Since acrylic dries as a plastic, I recycle 100% of my paint scraps and use them in my work. This not only adds character and texture, but practices sustainability as well (every little thing makes a difference)! For this reason, I unfortunately do not make prints of my paintings. Anything you see on my website or social media is an original artwork. Lately, I have been enjoying making collages out of old magazines and hope to soon introduce sculpting into my artistic practices.
I am not able to live out my dreams without the support of my family, friends, and clients. Every purchase is a gift and I thank every single one of you who have helped make my dreams possible. This is only the beginning.
