She received her Master of Fine Arts Painting from Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA in 2000. She has shown primarily in Los Angeles, California and Seattle, Washington; more recently she has participated in group and pop-up exhibitions in the greater Washington, D.C. metro area and in Salt Lake City, UT. Currently she is participating in collaborations and curatorial projects with other artists, writing and reviewing artists’ work, and creating art in the analog and digital realms. Vacillating between different settings and surfaces, her work searches for new information through a visual dialogue between telematics and the physical/tangible realms of art making.
