The artist is currently an MFA student at California State University, Long Beach. The first book she ever read was about telling time. If she had to choose a desert island book she would consolidate the original Oz series by L. Frank Baum into one volume and bring that. She highly recommends smelling the inside of books as well as reading them. She also recommends looking closely at the copyright page. She loves the library because being around a lot of books helps to alleviate her generalized human anxiety.

When she is not in class, at work, or in the studio she might be reading, staring into space, swimming or watching her cat Monkey tear at corrugated cardboard.
