I currently reside in Victoria, Australia. I hold an Associate Degree in Fine Arts from Long
Beach City College and a Bachelor of Arts from California State University, Long Beach,
with a minor in Drawing and Painting. My art education also includes studies at the
Escuela de Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and the California College of
Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California. In Australia, I studied drawing and painting at the
Fitzroy School of Art in Melbourne, and undertook watercolour classes at the Julian Ashton
School of Art in Sydney.
My work was accepted into the annual Filoli Gardens exhibition in Palo Alto, California, in
2003. That same year, I also exhibited with the Santa Clara Watercolour Society in the USA.
Since then, I have shown my work in numerous exhibitions, including:
• The Laura Golf Course and Western Sydney TAFE, Wentworth Falls (2009)
• The Tree View Estates Art Exhibition, Lithgow NSW (2010)
• The Blackheath Art Society and the Blue Mountains Art Society, Blackheath, NSW
(2011)
• The River of Art Eurobodalla Festival (2017 and 2018)
• Solo exhibitions at Workspace 3496 + Gallery, Red Cliffs VIC (2022 and 2023)
• Solo exhibition at the Mildura Arts Centre, VIC (2025)
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to receive several awards and commendations,
including:
• Highly Commended, Magenta Art Prize (2021)
• Second Best Painting in Show, Fine Arts Wentworth Show Society (2023)
• Best Portrait, Magenta Art & Photography Show (2024)
I have been actively involved in the arts community, previously as a member of the
Narooma School of Arts in NSW and the Riverfront Gallery in Mildura. I am currently a
member of GalleryF Creative Arts Inc. in Mildura, Victoria. My work has been displayed in
several cafés across NSW and is part of an ongoing exhibition at the Billinudgel Photo and
Frame Shop in Billinudgel, NSW.
