I’m a printmaker, book artist and letterpress printer currently living in the Seattle area.My imagery is influenced by patterns from my Samoan and Mexican heritage and my recent artwork is inspired by the sublime of wilderness and experiences in nature.I earned my BFA and MFA in Printmaking and I’ve been perpetually entranced by the impression of ink on paper since my first Etching class in undergrad. Growing up, I remember drawing pictures of Frankenstein with my parents when I was six and making Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books when I was twelve. Creating tactile, hands-on objects fascinated me then and propels me now.
