Born in New York, New York I studied painting at PCA, and also the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC. When young, I traveled and moved often, since my father was in the Army. During this time I enjoyed experiencing different places: Aurora, Denver, Virginia, Nashville, Maryland, San Juan Puerto Rico, Canada and and the Virgin Islands.
The feeling of a landscape often remains embedded in my mind's eye. As an adult, I still paint landscapes and sometimes figures that look like landscapes, or landscapes that look like figures. It was one of my figure/landscapes that was included in an exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, called “Insomnia, Landscapes of the Night”. ​
I paint because it creates a link with others, and connects me to my feelings. The process of painting allows a visual communication with the world, and provides an unexpected new perspective, a sense of place, felt sense and belonging.
