I was born in San Francisco in 1964 and have held many jobs, including comic book artist, writer, photographer, filmmaker, arts administrator, website builder, punk-rock drummer, mom. I’m a mixed media artist and illustrator. My illustrations were animated in two films directed by Kara Herold, including The Callback, currently playing in film festivals. My art appears in galleries and museums, recently at The de Young Open 2023.
Artist's Statement
"Transit Village" honors the high-rise housing that's springing up around public transit systems. I appreciate their mixed-use density that encourages more walking, less driving, and sustainability on land formerly used as parking lots. This transit village miniaturizes a housing policy that is still gaining traction and features a tiny BART train as its focal point. It was made from acrylic monoprints, found wood, toothbrush handles, safety envelopes, a BART ticket.
