She recently received her M.A. in art history from California State University, Fresno. Her first undergraduate degree was in Physical Therapy, a discipline which she practiced for twenty years. Her career change was the result of a lifelong passion for art in its social, religious, and historical contexts. She is particularly interested in artistic representations of marginalized peoples in the early modern period. In 2012, she traveled to Italy to research mystical female saints in Baroque altarpieces. She is also interested in Indian Madubani art, and in 2011 and 2013, traveled to remote areas of India to learn traditional Indian painting techniques and to support the women artists in the villages there.
