“My formal studies began as an undergraduate at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I received my BA degree from the California College of Art, and my graduate studies were pursued at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. My aim is to paint the light and pieces of color that describes what I see. When I paint I am reacting to the excitement I feel when I see something that registers as beautiful to me. My focus is on the magic!”
