Hello Everyone. This is where I tell you a little about me...

I am a San Diego, CA based freelance photographer and painter (medium acyrilic). As for photography....I've had an evolution of cameras since I was a little girl. It really helped me throughout my life being mostly introverted, shy, and quiet to have one with me whenever I could, and I believe tremendously helped me in regards to becoming the social butterfly that I am today. Now the photographer is the extrovert, and the painter in me the introvert.

In recent years I have done an array of different types of photography, and I as of late have focused on event photography. Here's a little list of some types of photography and gigs I've shot:

Portrait, Business, Landscape, Wedding, Funeral, Abstract, Non-Profit, Children, Concerts, Festivals, Comedy, Wineries, Breweries, Restaurants, Food, Holiday Parties, Family, Magician Shows, Chefs from the Food Network, Museums, Yelp Elite Events, Band Promotions, Environmental, Political, Travel.....etc etc. I'm very open to the diversity of events as they help me grow as a professional photographer (learning never stops) and as a person. Variety is said to be the spice of life, and I do like it spicy.

I love the variation of shooting what is, and painting abstractly where it could really be anything to the viewer. My goal is to make people feel something when they view my art, and the title of my pieces are to make them think about dualities and different realities. Here's this beautiful mess of intensity figure it out...it is alive and living on canvas...it is part of me...love it....dislike it with a passion...it is part of me expressing myself and life....let us talk about it. Most can even be hung at least 4 different ways meaning they are 4 different paintings in one to me as I tend to paint in 360 degrees. I noticed myself doing this unintentionally one day not knowing when that idiosyncracy actually began I decided to start a collection called: "The World of Bipolarality"....that I will have shows for in 2014.

I'm excited for my next creation and my next opportunity to help capture the beauty in this world as it unfolds.
