I am an improviser and composer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a cellist and vocalist, my current work spans the areas of improvisation, composition, video, performance art and large scale performance pieces. After studies in music and design, I was inspired towards an art form where I could unite the visual arts with sound and performance. My work has been presented at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2005, the Other Minds Brink series in San Francisco, the Radio France broadcast, "A L'improviste", the Seattle Improvised Music Festival, The Stone in New York City and Festival Unlimited XXI in Wels, Austria. In 2006 I wrote, directed and performed an improvised opera,“L( )VE”, which was presented at Mills College. I have collaborated and performed with such artists as Fred Frith, Tatsuya Nakatani, Joelle Leandre, Gianni Gebbia, Kanoko Nishi, Ellen Fullman, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Joan Jeanrenaud, Mark Dresser, June Watanabe, Gino Robair, Bob Marsh, Moe!Staiano, Devin Hoff, Tim Perkis, Chris Brown, Meredith Monk, Luciano Chessa and Florentine Dance Company Secondo Taglio. I completed an MFA at Mills College where I studied with Fred Frith, Joelle Leandre, Alvin Curran, Annie Gosfield and cello with Joan Jeanrenaud.
