Colorful modern paintings.

I exhibit primarily in the San Francisco Bay area, and my art and photography has been published by major international publishers.  Both figurative and abstract, my work has often been shown alongside other women artists as well as in general contemporary art venues.  My photography has been represented through Corbis Images.  My art reflects my broad travels and artistic influences from other cultures.  I currently live in Oakland, California.

Abstract fine art women figures. Contemporary urban photography. Charcoal painting of woman. Contemporary still-life fine art. Fine art women portraits.
This contemporary artist creates lively and sensuous figurative, still life, abstract, and portrait art, in painting, pastel, drawing, collage, and sculpture. This artist has an especially large gallery of realistic, expressionistic, abstract, and decorative female figure paintings and portraits of women and men.
