Welcome.

I am an artist living in San Francisco, California. I recreate my studio every day; do a little drawing and painting, make costumes for my daughter, dream about installations, and nervously knit for short periods in between.

I also regularly add new work to the galleries and shop on this website. Please explore, enjoy yourself, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
