Artist / Printmaker / Freelance Textile Designer

I am a Hawaii born artist/printmaker/freelance textile

designer who has been exhibiting in the U.S. and abroad

since 1989.  I have a BFA in Printmaking from Rutgers

University, New Brunswick, New Jersey and an MFA in

Printmaking from Washington University in St. Louis,

Missouri. My work includes reductive multi-plate

linoleum and woodblock prints, lithographs and etchings

of “water garden” imagery, artist’s books, and textile

designs for aloha shirts.

In 2005 I participated in a workshop taught by textile designer Emma Howard and was discovered by Dale Hope. My first textile design "Surf!" was completed for Patagonia under Dale's direction. It was printed from one piece of linoleum which is carved away after a specific color is printed.​
