I was born and raised, by artistic parents, in Los Angeles, California. After getting my degree in Design from UCLA, I enjoyed a career illustrating for Interior and Landscape Designers. At first working with markers, pastels and colored pencils, I later progressed to using only Photoshop and enjoyed years of exploring its many artistic capabilities.

In 2019, my husband (Art Watanabe) and I, with our two cats, fulfilled our dream of moving to Cambria - a place we had visited for many years.

Currently I divide my time by volunteering at the Cambria Center for the Arts, walking, and returning to the world of fine art. After years of exclusively doing digital art, I am exploring a variety of mediums - such as collage, graphite, oils and acrylics.
