In 1999, after seven years of working in the field of accounting, I decided to pursue a degree in fine art. While studying at the College of Marin and California College of the Arts (then known as California College of Arts and Crafts) I developed an interest in stone carving, metal casting, welding and fiber sculpture. It was also then that I began creating art with recycled materials, including bottle caps. I am still passionate about all of these mediums. I have never been happier since allowing myself to pursue my dream of being an artist. But I never forget my analytical background. In many ways my skills as an accountant influence how I approach my art practice and shape the way I explore new forms and ideas.
