About

I grew up surrounded by my grandfather’s modernist paintings. Once my parents realized I was fixated on art they brought me to museums in Los Angeles, an hour north of where we lived. When I was 18, I spent 3 years in a traditional program until moving to a conceptual one at UCLA. I made much less art than I read theory there, but that education shaped my approach and I was lucky to study under many accomplished artists. After graduating, I moved to New York and took more technical art classes and still continue to learn new techniques when necessary. I am a project based artist primarily producing drawings and prints, but will expand into various mediums. My topics include history, art history, politics and social issues. I live with my husband, Felix Salmon, in Chinatown, NYC.
