I consider myself an artivist; a creative person making art about issues needing change. Working in many mediums including wood, metal, fabric, and paint, I can create powerful artwork, but my best work is with people. I am a catalyst connecting people with the art, skills, materials, or people they need to influence the issues they care about. I taught art for decades as a volunteer and later professionally and have skills painting in acrylic, watercolor and oil. I love working with wood both in sculpture and in furniture design, restoration, and fabrication and I have some experience working with metal.

Born an identical twin and raised in Seattle, WA by a fiercely independent single mother, I have never not been a feminist and much of my recent work is focused on that. Craving sunshine, my family and I moved to San Antonio five years ago. My passion is public art and with San Antonio’s expansive art programs, I am always finding new art to admire or sculptures and murals to appreciate. I have volunteered with the San Antonio Food Bank delivering food to people unable to leave their homes which brought me into many of the different neighborhoods in our city. In each area, I have found creative murals, varied landscapes, interesting architecture, great food, and wonderful people. Almost finished with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at UTSA, I have added professional training to my self taught skills and have been enjoying creating a variety of artwork. In the last year I have been helping a public artist run his galleries and studio which has given me experience with public art and the fantastic San Antonio art community. I love participating in First Friday at Blue Star and the Second Saturday Artwalk in the Lone Star Art District. Most evenings and weekends you can find me at an art exhibit or opening, or problem-solving on a sculpture or painting project.
