I grew up taking multiple art classes and spent some time figure drawing in art studios in Paris and San Francisco. Though I started a BFA, it was taken over by my love of cultures and languages and became a BA in Romance languages with a Master's in Cultural Anthropology.

I have now returned to my first love, representing the faces of people and animals as I see and feel them onto a drawing pad or a canvas. Explorations and discoveries in the world of colors and shapes keep me motivated and satisfied.
