The Secret Life of Freaks

Mission Statement: I have an unstoppable quest to understand human behavior and this is reflected through pain and humor, the two most reoccurring themes in my life. It is my great wish that my pieces provoke self-examination and a few laughs as I, and all of us, make our way through this world, one leap or one stumble at a time.

Education: I hold a B.F.A. from Boston University’s School for Fine Arts. I am a L.A. Unified certificated elementary school teacher, trained in both the Open Court and the E.I.E.P programs.
