As a professional garden designer—I have designed 125+ native gardens in the South Bay.
I enjoy applying art concepts to real landscapes—and in the process—watching spaces transform. Gardens provide refuge and connect us with the changing world outside ourselves.
I graduated w/ a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Florida. In 1995, I was an artist-in-residence at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. Shortly after, I moved to San Jose and continued a career teaching elementary school and college students drawing, design and art history.
In 1998—as a new home owner—I started digging! In 2013 I completed a landscape design diploma program that included classes in botany, ecology and sustainable design.
