Mixed Media, Folded Past

As a mixed-media artist in the DMV area, I explore a diverse range of creative endeavors. My digital art delves into the intricate beauty of nature, crafting imaginative, microscopic worlds inspired by bacteria, T-cells, viruses, amoebas, and human cells. Seamlessly blending art and science, this fusion creates a playful narrative that reflects my 15 years of collaboration with U.S. scientists on extensive research addressing cancer, Ebola, obesity, COVID, and other health challenges.

Beyond digital art, I express my creativity through hand-painted dry batiks and intricately crafted origami jewelry. I relish the opportunity to take on new challenges through commissions, including murals, book covers, marketing posters, and logos.

I hold a degree in Applied Arts and Ceramics and further honed my skills in pottery and digital art at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, D.C. My work has been showcased in juried exhibitions across New York, Baltimore, Richmond, and Charlottesville, and is currently featured at Art a la Carte gallery in Occoquan, Virginia.

Since 1999, I’ve had the privilege of teaching art to diverse audiences. And I now lead workshops and community classes with the OLMA Mater Foundation in Virginia. These workshops aim to foster creative expression, encourage human connection, build community, and make art accessible and engaging for everyone.
