Sierra Water is Reno’s beloved warehouse for plants, local ceramics, spectacular fresh and dried floral, gift - and, frankly, retreat. It’s a pleasure helping manage the shop. Plus, the phyllotaxis and other mysteries of the plants, is fun to be immersed by and study.

Little More About Me

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, later migrated all over the country, for art’s sake, graduating first from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Crafts program (now Material Studies), and later with a masters in Art and Visual Culture Studies from The University of Arizona.

Today, my family and I reside in The Great Basin, where I raise my three kids, Manage Sierra Water - the much beloved plant warehouse and creative haven in the Reno-Tahoe area - keep a small studio and enjoy trail running with our dog.
