Artist Statement
I am an artist and art instructor at a mental health wellness center in Los Angeles. I have a B.F.A. in painting from Pratt Institute in New York. My inspirations include the late artists Chu The-Chun, Hilma af Klint, and Roberto Matta. Currently, I am working on a metal leaf series and the other series I am working on includes intuitive and symbolic paintings. My favorite medium is working with acrylics, and I find inspiration from nature. Previous series of art include fumage. My artwork has been in exhibits to raise awareness for global issues and charities. One of my artistic goals is to inspire others.
