Current Art
I am currently working on a series of wood panel paintings inspired by a recent trip to Arequipa, Peru, my maternal homeland.
Having visited this site multiple times since the age of 3 months, the severity its rapid growth mixed with past memories of my
childhood experiences are explored in these works.
Public Art Installations & Proposals
Through site specific installations, I explore the engagements within public and private spaces. In these constructed situations
invite viewers to experience comfort and discomfort, isolation and community, reflection and loquaciousness can simultaneously
occur. The resulting actions of my art are not as important as the opportunities that the space or construction provides to viewers
and participants.
2D Art

and off the table has changed from something familiar to something foreign. We make choices about what we consume on
My entry into sculpture was through the lost wax casting process at Wellesley' College's foundary. In 1997, I presented a senior
thesis after returning from a 2006 trip to Peru entitled "Transposing Time and Cultures: Personal and Abstract Interpretations of
Inca and Pre-Inca Art." Presented are also a few private commissions to private Bay Area collectors in 1999-2002.
