My art encompasses mixed media collage, stained glass, line drawings, and plein air pastel drawing, embracing a varied, colorful aesthetic influenced by intricate patterns, jigsaw puzzles, nature, dance, theater, and jazz. I mix reflective and textured surfaces, found items, evocative photos, and organic materials in multilayered compositions.
I welcome inquiries about stained glass commissions, as well as original artworks and prints for sale. Contact me.

I started 2026 with one small collage artwork per day as part of the 2026 New Year Mandala project. Reflective materials (foil, holographic paper, glitter, glass), layers, and stickers. Experiencing wild swings from hope to cautious optimism to overcoming sadness, I tried to project comfort and hope for each month.

FEM-MinisSan Francisco Women Artists Gallery
647 Irving Street
San Francisco, CA
March 3 – April 2, 2026
Opening reception March 7, 2-4 pm
FEM-minis is an NCWCA member exhibition centered on the expansive concept of FEM. Ideas around feminist, feminine, fem-presenting, fem-forward. The theme embraces any subject associated with women or female presenting persons; the female figure, femininity, feminism, children, dismantling the patriarchy, the lived experience of female-identifying persons, suffrage, reproductive rights, the struggle against or within the bonds of gender roles imposed by societies. It is also about claiming the space to simply be who you are, to express that joy and celebrate identity. FEM-minis invites works across media that reflect the complexity, resilience, and vibrancy of FEM in all its forms.

I “define woman” as personal strength, not societal dictate. A provocative figure claims her own narrative in an autonomous space, paying homage to women’s many characters–activists, mothers, sensual beings–gloriously embracing her own path.
