My mediums of choice are acrylic paint, oil paint, India ink, charcoal, watercolor, and graphite. Since attaining my BFA at SFSU with a dual emphasis in Painting & Sculpture, I have continued producing and showcasing works in the Bay Area. My recent complete series follows the intimate daily life of circus performers, inspired by my years traveling with both local and international circus troupes including Cavalia, Cirque Du Soleil, as well as Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey. I have also written and illustrated a children's book and am currently working on a hand-painted animation film project.
