To the left:  speaking at the opening for the NCWCA show at the Village Theatre Gallery in Danville, CA.  I stand in front of my image Mardi Gras.  I am displaying a book I created.  And yes, I am a bit of a cowgirl.  I own a gray gelding named Skimmel.  




Left and below:  Working at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, CA.  I am creating a print of Tital - Gazania.

Who Am I

Existentialism aside, I am an artist residing in Oakland, CA.  I create jewelry inspired from sources such as Southwest Indian designs and other sources. I work with cyanotypes and other alternative photography as well as teach these media.  I make digital images as well.  I have a long time association with Kala Art Institute, the Women's Caucus for Art and local art organizations.  I find it gratifying and important to be involved.  

My History

Born and raised in Wisconsin, I moved to the Bay area nearly 20 years ago.  I took my B.A. degree in Political Science and French and then a M.F. A. in Costume Design in Theatre from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin.  I worked in professional theatre  before pursuing my photography full time.  My fascination with human ornament remained and I began to make jewelry.
