Hello. Thank you so much for visiting. I’m an artist and writer based in the beautiful Monterey Bay area on the scenic central coast of California.

Using visual media ranging from traditional to digital to comic art and text, I create provocative works that reflect my values of social justice and inclusion.

Following in the ancient traditions of artists as storytellers of the tribal community, I combine visual images with words to subvert the dominant culture of inequality, and contribute to lasting social transformation.

Please click on the images below to visit my portfolio of visual art works. Work that I can’t quite fit in these themes might show up in my blog posts. I invite you to read my blog, purchase art and leave your comments, too.

Check out new and provocative writing on my blog, where I’ll be writing not just on visual art, but on movies, memoir, dream work and the creative process in general. I’d love hear your thoughts.
