I began my career as an art director working in television and multimedia. I've worked with emerging technologies, clients with high expectations, and an array of collaborators. ​After years in entertainment and technology design and development, I moved into education as a second career teaching visual arts at the high school level, with a short stint as university instructor.. Upon retiring I immersed myself in art and conservation volunteering with Audubon Canyon Ranch participating in shorebird counts while becoming more involved with local arts organizations. I found a home at the Marin Society of Artists where I have a studio along side other fun and friendly artists, and volunteer in activities such as speakers, education outreach, exhibition intake and long term planning. 

​

Printmaking is my preferred medium, though I also have experience with oil, watercolor, sumi-e, and digital art. I use various printmaking techniques like drypoint intaglio, monotype, woodcut, and collograph, all produced with an artist's press.

In the past couple of years I carry an audio recorder and camera with me frequently on hikes, exploring wildlife habitats. In this manner, I record sounds and images which I sometimes combine in my work to showcase both audio and imagery of my subject matter where possible. 

​

As a printmaker I employ the most up-to-date methods for making art. I use Akua inks almost exclusively and strive to make my practice as sustainable, non-toxic and eco-friendly as possible. My work is always printed on premium quality archival paper. 

 

By donating most of my proceeds, I channel my passion for creating art organizations that I support in mostly in education and conservation.
