Owner and Artist Fierce Siren Studios

fiercesirenstudios@gmail.com

An avid beachcomber and history geek, I am an artist who incorporates beach finds into my work and writes about them.  Always drawing as a child, I won a competition to create my high school’s logo. I studied art and architectural history at the University of London as a teen, then graduated with Honors from San Jose State University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. Life kept me away from creating for decades, until the sea rekindled my spark. I founded Fierce Siren Studios in 2021 and think of myself as an artist whose inspiration is the waste of the past.
