Welcome to Project Noah! Awesome find! This beautiful female Mantis is probably one of two species that live in your area. She is either Stagmomantis californica, California Mantis or Stagmomantis limbata (no common name). They are in the same genus and look very similar and are difficult to tell apart.
Here are the two pages for these guys:
