My artistic practice is rooted in a deep respect for accuracy, both in capturing the nuances of the human form and in honoring the cultural contexts that inspire my work. I am drawn to realism, finding inspiration in the meticulous observation of the world around me.

This dedication to accuracy extends beyond the human form to the cultural narratives that inform my art. Raised in the diverse East Bay of California and taught about the indigenous cultures of both New Mexico and California, I developed a deep appreciation for these rich traditions. My multicultural background has fostered a global perspective and a lifelong spirit of inquiry. Extensive travel and immersion in diverse communities have deepened my understanding of our interconnectedness as a global community. This belief in our shared responsibility for the well-being of each other and the planet profoundly influences my artistic vision.

I strive to create art that is not only visually compelling but also culturally sensitive and respectful. By meticulously researching and honoring the origins of my inspiration, I aim to create work that authentically reflects the diverse human experience and encourages viewers to connect with the world around them on a deeper level.
