There was never any doubt in my mind as to what I was meant to do. I received a BFA in Sculpture, minoring in painting from Pratt Institute in New York after attending the Rhode Island School of Design and the High School of Music and Art in NYC. A mother and an artist, I have also worked as a graphic designer, art teacher, early childhood educator and preschool director.

Currently I am working mostly in oils and clay. Among the mediums I have worked in are ceramic sculpture, mixed media, acrylic monotypes and a variety of paints. My work combines strong design, innovative techniques and personal vision. There is always room for the unexpected as I work. I begin with my pure ideas and allow the piece to take on its own life. I work from my soul, hopefully without too much expectation of outcome. I believe technique is important in that it permits the viewer to connect with the work.

Many of my pieces clearly relate to personal history. Though experience is unique to each of us, others can empathize and relate to my journey through their own situations. Feelings are universal.
