I grew up moving all over the California bay area and moved to Oakland to attend the California College of the Arts and Crafts, where I received my BFA in 2002. I moved to Los Angeles for a bit, and now I'm back in Oakland, pursuing my MFA at CCA.

Currently I am interested in building a fictional narrative with connections to history as well as to the present. It's like I'm illustrating a novel that doesn't exist. If it did, it would probably be a lot like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, or Bleak House- novels which function as social commentary as well as beautiful romantic epics.
