I’ve been an amateur artist since I was 4, initially
working with Crayola and branching out at 9 to incorporate Prismacolor pencils,
collage, and Mod Podge into my pieces.
Watercolor and pen & ink
illustration have been my preferred vices for the past 30 years. After spending
a month in Yosemite in 2009, I developed a
fondness for painting big rocks using an east-west style, akin to Chiura Obata.
But I’m willing to paint and draw anything and do so daily.
During the day, I am a
mild-mannered graphic designer for a high-tech firm in Santa Rosa, California.
At night, I put on my Salvador Dali beret and mustache and engage in art. |

I have mostly lived in Santa Rosa but was born in Hawaii
and spent significant time in Chicago
Illinois where I obtained a
masters in Urban Planning. I also have an Environmental Science degree from UC
Berkeley, I’ve taken many college-level art classes but my greatest art
influences came from my high school art teacher, Mr. Gadberry, from whom I
learned discipline and drawing skills, from artist Popi Tyler who taught me
painting skills, and from my mother who taught me how to draw a little girl.

Robin Roberts’ (of Good Morning
America) mother said:
Find your gift and share it with the world.
I thought that was good
advice from her mother and I plan on following through.
