About the Artist

My work is deeply inspired by the ocean—a place I have loved both as a scientist and as an artist. With a B.S. in Marine Biology from San Jose State University and studies at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, my understanding of marine ecosystems inspires the movement, color, and energy present in my art.

I spent much of my professional life in the biotechnology industry as a scientist and project manager, while also nurturing my creative side through small business ventures, beginning with watercolor painting. After earning my MBA from Santa Clara University and dedicating time to raising my two children, my artistic practice took a pause—but never disappeared.

In 2017, I discovered fused glass, and everything changed.

Glass has always captivated me—its luminosity, its texture, the way it transforms light. Working from my home studio, I create fused glass pieces that explore color, depth, and tactile experience. I experiment with firing schedules and layering techniques to produce surfaces that invite both visual and physical interaction.

I am especially drawn to dichroic glass, a material that shifts color depending on light and perspective. Its micro-layers of metals and oxides create dynamic, ever-changing effects, ensuring that each piece I create is truly one of a kind. This sense of uniqueness and transformation is central to my work.

Living in California continually fuels my inspiration—from the vast ocean and rugged coastline to the quiet strength of the redwoods and the majesty of the Sierra Nevada. My art and jewelry reflect these landscapes, capturing moments of light, movement, and natural beauty.

Ultimately, my intention is simple: to create pieces that bring a sense of joy, wonder, and connection to those who experience them.

Namaste.
