Over my lifetime, as a painter I have worked in watercolors, oils and pencil.

As an art furniture maker, I took commissions for one of a kind pieces, designing and executing these in my studio, and exhibiting my work nationally, from 1986-2014.  

Geographic changes have punctuated my life.

In 1996 I moved from Baltimore to Provincetown, Massachusetts where I lived and had a studio for 8 years. This move was a move to heal from a traumatic childhood and to live in a softer, safer environment.

Following the death of my mother, in 2003, I spent a month painting in Sorrento, Italy. Following that, in 2004, I moved my home and studio to Taos, New Mexico where I continued to paint and work in wood. There, I was deeply affected by the wide open spaces.

After sustaining a physical injury in 2014, I retired from woodworking and began working solely as a painter, working in oils on panel and vellum,  and in watercolors, ink and charcoal on paper.

In 2017, I returned to Baltimore, where I set up my studio and residence to begin again. In 2020, during the Covid-19 Pandemic I began working on large charcoal drawings of rock formations.  I saw my work evolve and take a leap into something quite different and much bolder.

My art life has been impacted by a lot of change/upheaval. These shifts have been essential to my sense of self, and to my own unfolding. This time feels like an important crossroads of creating a  more fluid consistency, grounding in a very new and very rich reality where I am centered in the kernel of developing my work.
