Artist BIO

Growing up in New York, I was privileged to receive my informal education in and out of museums, art galleries, and fabric houses. I hold an advanced love of textiles & textures, touching anything & everything, wherever I go.

My early fascination with Impressionism began a lifelong infatuation with Monet’s Waterlillies, his broad strokes and vibrant colors. Inspired by my enormous love of art, and its grandiose place in this world, I challenged myself to paint, paint and paint more.

I am a self-taught large format abstract acrylic painter. Drawn to as large a canvas as I can hold, that initial blank space arouses an even larger excitement and fuels my imagination. As frustration is a normal occurrence, there is definitely magic in seeing the mistakes I make turn into my very own creations.

I imagine to watch me paint is like watching a woman put on her makeup without her glasses, cake on layer upon layer haphazardly, each color evoking another.

I am also fortunate to have lived in Los Angeles with my husband and two children for almost two decades. In 1999, we moved cross-country to the gorgeous waters of Miami where we now live as empty nesters.

In art there is no such thing as, “practice makes perfect”!

My personal mission is to... Always experiment, stay adventurous, and have courage with my found language, art.
