About The Artist

Welcome to my revamped website. I wanted to share my most recent work.. As some of you know, I have been painting daily since March of 2020. The pandemic kept me home teaching through my computer screen. I began to paint, every day! I havent stopped.

To that end, I am loading some new images little by little and hoping to get some invitations to exhibit and sell.

I grew up right here in Princeton, and honestly, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t an artist! I owe a huge thank you to my wonderful parents, aunts, and uncles for cheering me on to turn my passion into a career. I headed off to Carnegie-Mellon to major in Drawing and Printmaking, where I quickly fell head-over-heels for silk screen printing. Why? Because it’s a perfect path to a world of vibrant color—and I am definitely a colorist.

After graduation, I spent two years back in Princeton working with local photographers and filmmakers, but my wanderlust eventually got the better of me. I packed my bags for Washington, DC, to join a few friends and ended up in a whirlwind of freelance adventures for The Washington Post, JMP Productions, and more. Between the art, the friends, and the hustle of DC and Baltimore, life was full—but in 1984, I made the move to Baltimore for the best reason of all: love!

With a little nudge from a professor at MICA, I jumped into grad school and landed a fellowship at The George Washington University. My mentor, Doug Teller, was a total game-changer; I started as his assistant and ended up teaching at GWU for an entire decade after he retired! I had a blast teaching Silkscreen, Mixed Media, and Design. I also kept one foot in MICA’s continuing studies program and helped get the Maryland Printmakers organization off the ground.

In 2003, I found myself back in my hometown and on the hunt for a good printmaking studio. I tracked down the Print Center in Branchburg and Artworks in Trenton, where I even helped set up a silkscreen studio and led some workshops. When I needed a little break from the screens, I picked up the paintbrush more often, diving deep into a series of paintings inspired by my fascination with mandalas.

I created a series of small paintings during the pandemic that blossomed into a daily painting practice.  I’m a better painter now.

You’ll still find me drawing in my journal every single day—my lifelong motto is “When in doubt, doodle!” I’ve been exhibiting my work for 40 years now, and nothing beats the joy of making or even just looking at art. These days, I’m sharing that joy with my students at Stuart Country Day School in Princeton. I feel so lucky to keep doing what I love! I’m starting my 20th year in September.
