Bio

Born: Brooklyn, NY

Education: BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in affiliation with Tufts University.

A long career in graphic design including co-owner and principal designer of the firm PORTFOLIO in Boston.

Studio: For over 25 years I have worked in my studio in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood in a vibrant artist cooperative building. I also taught weekend workshops in Relief Printmaking and Contemporary Collage & Mixed Media. I recently moved my studio to Medfield Massachusetts.

Artist’s Statement

My work includes unique relief prints, paintings and mixed media works exploring colors and shapes from nature. I love to travel and it usually involves hiking and observing the details in the environment. I work in series and each series can last a few months or a few years.

The current print series explores the colors and textures of stuff that washes up on the beach with the tide. In working with seaweed – with their fragile shapes and unusual colors – I layer color and texture with many different plates. That series now includes octopus and jellyfish.

I continue to work on a series of bird paintings inspired by encounters on my hikes or in my garden. I have curated several bird themed art shows including “The Year of the Bird” to bring attention to and celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
