What might you improve in the area? I would like to see all of the business vacancies filled in the Village of La Jolla, see our community thriving, and always be able to find a parking spot. Who or what inspires you? The late Sebastian Capella, my oil painting teacher, inspired me in both my painting and my daily life. He taught me keep painting and never give up. I have a lot of energy, so I’m inspired by colorful and interesting people, places and things. When I see different people or events, I like to paint them in an imaginative, lively and vivid fashion. Right now, I’m using that inspiration to paint wearable silk art for the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival in October. All profits raised benefit the local public elementary and middle schools. These proceeds are for underfunded programs and onsite medical care.
