I have been creating art since I was only a few years old. My first interests were in drawing and painting. Starting in Junior High, I began taking courses in drawing, painting, ceramics, and fashion design. Earning my AA at Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo, my love of photography was born. Taking Black and White developing brought my love of composition as used in drawing to my photography. Among the fine arts, I also explored fashion design, life drawing and painting, hand building ceramics, and oil painting courses.
Earning my Bachelor's in Art and Design at California Polytechnic State University in 2005 with magna cum laude honors, I expanded my studies with jewelry design, artificial lighting courses in photography, glass blowing, glass fusing, ceramics, graphic design, drawing, life drawing, and many painting courses. Majoring in Art and Design with a concentration in Studio Art, I have dedicated my love for art to photography, drawing, and painting. My work has been in the Senior Capstone Project, the annual Push Pin open classroom show, Senior show at 2 Dogs Cafe, and Morro Bay Art Association's art show.
