I live and work in San Antonio, Texas as a mixed media painter. I love to read and collect antiques and folk art from Mexico. My paintings evoke a kind of Magical realism relying on playful symbolism, bright color, and texture. Fanciful trees, flowers, animals and other imagery are formed by paint, torn pieces of metallic paper, metallic foil and other found materials such as labels. My paintings attempt to tell a story that celebrates the cycle of life, including love, joy, passion, renewal and growth.

I received my BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin and my MFA in Painting and Drawing from Texas Tech University. My paintings and drawings have been exhibited in both group and solo exhibitions as well as juried shows.
