I am a visual artist and professional violinist based in Sacramento, California.

Creativity has always been a central part of my life. I have spent years making music, drawing, painting, working with textiles and paper, building things by hand, and following whatever creative process has captured my attention. I have always been happiest when I am learning something new, experimenting, and making things.

I am also a devoted student of Argentine tango, and love traveling to tango events whenever I can. Music and dance are both important parts of my life, and I think they inevitably influence the way I experience rhythm, movement, tension, balance, connection, and space.

My visual art practice now moves across painting, works on paper, collage, artist books, and sculpture. I love the freedom of working in different materials and seeing how an idea changes when it moves from paint to paper, thread, fabric, or three-dimensional form.

My studio process is intuitive and curious. I rarely begin knowing exactly where a piece will go. I start with color, marks, materials, or a shape that interests me and follow what happens from there. That sense of discovery is one of the things I value most about making art.

Whether I am painting, playing the violin, dancing, or learning a new way to make something, I am drawn to the balance between discipline and freedom — between developing a skill deeply and leaving enough room for surprise.

For me, creativity is less a single activity than a way of moving through the world: paying attention, staying curious, and continuing to explore.
