Education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1988. I
taught at Smith Academy in Hatfield, MA from 1988-1990, then
proceeded to have 3 children and paint.
My original artistic passion was ceramics. I was attracted the sensual
process of creating functional forms. Desiring a more immediate
artistic product, I began to explore paint. I joined a painting group in
the early 1990's and was consumed by the sculptural possibilities of
the medium. I enjoy the freedom painting gives me to develop and
experiment with organic forms. I also have a great connection to the
outdoors, spending many hours hiking and gardening. These
interests have combined to create a life long journey for me in paint
and nature.
