Current Work
My current and ongoing project is a paper sculpture of a little girl created with all recyclables, which include newspaper, paper bags, ripped up cardboard and a plastic bottle with natural rocks inside to create weight for the body.
One of my main objectives for this project is to share the ability to create art out of material that is considered trash, which costs nothing. Regardless of economical status, one can create!

Short Bio
I began loving art at a very early age. Growing up in poverty and dysfunction kept me from exploring my creativity. After suffering a back injury and having surgery I was left disabled and without an ability to work. With lots of hard work and determination and with the help of friends, family and state organizations, I completed my degree in Art and Design at the University of Davis, in Davis California.
Part of my rehabilitation was in developing a small Graphic Design business and becoming a freelance graphic and web designer; which includes my fine art, photo restoration and web design. I have volunteered my artist and web services at our local farmer's market and in grammar schools to help lead our community’s children towards discovering their own creative energy. I am a blessed woman.
