Art is my point of view, I process the word through colors, perspectives and outlines of shape. Berkeley California in the 1960s I went to grammar school started by my parents, Walden School, an art's focused school, my mother taught ceramics. My Father was a famous off Broadway actor in NY having attended the NY Art Students league. I gravitated to the Arts, able to draw my own image by 1st grade, skill kept in high esteem by parents and teachers. I learned play instruments and sing and do some dancing from a Martha Graham dancer teacher, and later Shawl Anderson dance studio. In high school I was awarded more outstanding recognition, I was focused on music, and I took vocal lessons from a prominent voice coach when I moved to San Francisco and began at Blue Bear School of music performing new wave with my band where I was a song writer and rhythm guitarist, and I performed and recorded Jazz vocals with an important Jazz pianist. I completed my BFA in China with SFAI in 1996 earning honors. I went to animation college, and interior design school earning an AA on the Honor roll and Dean's list. Fine Art came in and out of my life until I fully committed again in 2022.
