As a professional artist, I explore a variety of mediums with a focus on acrylic paint and gold leaf. My artistic style is inspired by the illuminated manuscripts of the Renaissance. I celebrate the power of ideas and often include references to math, science, and nature. As a U.S. diplomat and international business executive, I spent decades working and living all over the world. My international and life experiences influence my art as well as my multiethnicity as a person of Chamorro, Scottish, Irish, and German heritage growing up in the beautiful midwestern United States,
