“Art is born of the observation of nature.” – CiceroI have spent much of my life observing the natural world and exploring the wonders of science and nature. This lead to a career in research and teaching using these observational skills to deepen my understanding of the natural world. As I delved into the world of art, I realized I could express what I’ve learned through my art and use it to educate and inspire others. My artwork focuses strongly on my love of nature and science, influenced by Modern Surrealism and Impressionism. I specialize in sculpting unique art jewelry, as well as creating watercolor and acrylic paintings. I am self-taught and have been making art since 2015. As an advocate for protecting the environment, I've chosen to focus on the wildlife that I love in hopes that it will inspire others to appreciate this planet and its natural resources. I also hold a Ph.D. in Marine Biology and Biochemistry. Based in Alameda, CA, my work has been featured at galleries in Albany, Alameda, Oakland and San Francisco. I am also co-owner and curator of 3Dot Art Gallery in Alameda, CA.
