I am an abstract artist based in Los Angeles who specializes in oil and acrylic paintings. By utilizing the interplay of negative and positive space, my works delve into themes of absence and presence, memory, history, and feminism while showcasing a keen understanding of visual balance.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Art Practice with Honors from UC Berkeley and a Master’s in Fine Art in Studio Art from Mills College, and my artistic journey has been shaped by rigorous academic training. My artwork has been showcased at prestigious institutions such as the de Young Museum, the Berkeley Art Center, and the Mills College Art Museum, attracting collectors both nationally and internationally.
