My artwork is inspired by the beautiful California landscape where I live, folk art and COLOR. I love to paint the small things I notice and that bring me happiness - a beautiful flower, bird, pattern or texture. I hope it makes you happy, too. 

I grew up in Oakland in a family of makers.  I earned a BFA at CCAC, later an MA in Art Education. I've taught art to kids for many years - now I'm in my studio, working with adult artists at NIAD(niadart.org), or teaching workshops.

My first picture book, 'Chinese and English Nursery Rhymes: Stories to Share and Sing' (Tuttle. 2010) won 'Best Books of the Year' from the Chinese American Library Association, and is still in print.  Highlights Magazine published 'Spider's Christmas Gift', December 2020. I sell my paintings, prints, greeting cards, scarves and tea towels on Etsy, and at craft/art sales and shops. My work is in private collections, two local hospitals and even on TV! (Council of Dads, NBC). My work has been published by Uppercase Magazine,  Highlights Magazine, and Edible East Bay. 

Follow me on Instagram or join my mailing list to find out what I'm up to! 

I'm on the lookout for more wonderful, unique venues to sell my art or teach a workshop. Send me a message, let's work together!
