Brief Bio
My love for the arts began with childhood visits to San Francisco with its fine art museums and fantastic music venues.  During my teens, I pursued my passion for music by touring with a performance group for 4 years and then apprenticing at a local recording studio. I became an assistant engineer at several recording studios in the S. F. Bay Area, then eventually moved away to Maui, Hawaii, for five years before returning to the Bay Area again. After fifteen years of juggling various jobs in the audio industry at recording studios and radio stations, I ultimately decided that I needed to slow down and switch gears to a simpler, more heart-centered occupation of my choice as a Nanny.  I had previously done babysitting in my teens, so it seemed natural that I would return to it as my true calling, caring for adorable babies and kidlets.

While exploring the world with kids, I rediscovered my deep love for nature and growing concern for sustainability.  After nannying for over two decades, my interest in watercolor painting also grew and intensified. So I decided to take up painting at home for fun and exploration. I was happy to discover that an added benefit of art making is that it happens to be rather therapeutic, which came in handy during the lockdowns and ever since.

Recently, I've been exploring other art mediums, like gouache paint, oil pastels, and digital art. I'm always delighted to uncover new ways to express myself through art and am lucky to be able to share my creative journey with everyone.
