As I evolve and add the pages of life,I find myself again igniting my passion for art. My aim is to capture the beautiful essence of the human body.
My pieces are of clay ,a very easy and pliable material with the ability to add and subtract and carve and shape. I leave the raw texture in most of my pieces to show the material. I see,I sculpt, I push the clay,fast and slow , dancing with the energy of my model and myself. The body is a beautiful element. I try to capture the spirit,the emotion,the gesture,the positive and the negative in which the body creates within the space.

I am an American artist, living in San Francisco, California. I am originally from the East coast where I received my classical education in Sculpture from the Art Students League of N.Y.C., N.Y., on the Merit scholarship and my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Arts and Education from Bennington College in Vermont in 1991. I teach clay modeling, protraiture and the figure to adults and children in public and private schools and in my studio.
Commissions I have done include lifesize bronze animals, animal stone carvings and portraits . I paint landscapes on location. Everything I paint has ancient mythic symbols that are revealed in optical illusions in my brushstrokes. My skill in my craft is important to me. I am greatly inspired by nature and by the great masters of the past and old American folk art. I try to bring out the architypes from the ancients in my portraits and create some kind of a pun.

In these photographic studies I am drawn to the organic structure, pattern and beauty of botanical subjects. Through lens manipulation my desire is to transcend the existing landscape and create new altered imagery evoking a meditative sense of place.

Often I'm asked what inspires me to create such colorful and eclectic paintings. Living in the Bay Area for most of my life as well as having lived in the Philippines during my childhood, has afforded me an unlimited stream of seemingly ordinary subjects from which I can bring to life on canvas.
Most of my work explores the diverse culture, objects, neighborhoods and landscapes that I see around me on a daily basis. My paintings fuse these images together along with a bold palate and unique perspective to convey the strength and intensity of my subjects.

I draw trees, branches, twigs, buds, leaves, tendrils, nests, reeds, weeds, stems, grasses, vines, and shrubs in charcoal, graphite, encaustic, and pastel. Lines entice, the spaces between beckon.

The process of painting is to me as important as the completion of a piece. I feel that art in all its forms reflects man's searches, concerns, drives, strivings and feelings. The artist, whether consciously or unconsciously, transmits or reflects this "pulse." One of the major concerns of every individual is facing the unknown and the inexplicable. My art deals with this encounter with the unknown, which at times can be exhilarating and exciting, but at other timers full of dread and anxiety. I try to transmit the feeling that one sometimes has of almost grasping the illusive, that feeling of 'déja vu", and the intense joy, even euphoria, of being alive.
