I am a part of the SCBWI, and have been a member of the Pasadena Art Council & Long Beach Art Association. I have participated in group and solo exhibits throughout Los Angeles including Barnsdall Library, Gallery 825, Folk Tree Gallery and University Galleries.

My studio space is enlivened by my furry life models and fueled on music, podcasts, chocolate and the view of my garden .
