A native-born Californian, I have been creating art in one form or another for as long as I can remember. I began art classes at the age of three, drew every day of my life as a child, making books, magazines and comic books. I took drawing and basic design classes at San Diego State University, studied graphic design and set design at San Francisco State University, eventually earning a BA in Visual Communication. After doing some work as a graphic designer I got back into drawing and my fondness for paper ephemera led me into collage and finally into 'decollage' the pasting together and tearing away of layers- which is currently my primary medium / technique.
