Biography

At the age of eight, I took my first after school art class-oil painting. I learned to paint from life and mix colors. I loved the control of building my own world. I found my place.

I chose to attend Rhode Island School of design. There I studied textiles, illustration and majored in painting. I graduated class of 1986.

Four decades later in 2014, I earned a Master's Degree from Lesley University, College of Art and Design.

My love of art is a gift I give to myself and share with others everyday.

Artist Statement

Using the tools of my trade, a comprehensive background in art history, an MFA in Fine Art and a proficiency with mixed media material, I prepare my palette and approach my surface with creative intention. It is the ephemeral elusive moment I paint. Opacity, luminosity, rhythm and architectural components meld together to create abstractions with illusionist perspectives that glimmer with intangible moments.
