Artist Bio
Rooted in a lifelong curiosity and a deep connection to my surroundings, my artistic journey
began in New York, where I earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Fine Arts with a
concentration in painting and drawing, along with a Ph.D. in Education. This journey has guided
my artwork toward a reflective exploration of experiences and observations that I translate into
visual form.
I am often drawn to the beauty and complexity of nature, the human form, and the interplay of
color. Through my art, I strive to capture these elements and create a sense of connection and
understanding.
For over twenty years, my work has been exhibited consistently. I have been creating art since
childhood and have received numerous awards and accolades throughout my career. My most
recent honors include the Visual Artist of the Year Award from the Arts Council of Rockland and
the Weir Masterpiece Award from the National Parks Service.
My life and career have been dedicated to both the arts and education. I serve as the curator of
the Rockefeller Gallery and am the founder of the annual Bluefield Arts Festival. In addition, I
am a certified art teacher in both New Jersey and New York, as well as a published writer.

Artist Bio
I paint from my heart. Whether I’m blending soft pastels, layering acrylics, or watching watercolors bloom across the paper, I discover a kind of quiet magic—moments where intuition and imagination meet.
My artistic journey has been shaped and uplifted by a community that continually inspires me.
The empowering support of Tappan Library, the vibrant creativity of the Nyack Art Collective, the guidance of gifted teachers, and the encouragement of dear friends have all contributed to my growth as an artist. Their belief in me fuels my passion to explore, experiment, and express the world as I feel it.
And now, with a happy heart, this ever-growing journey continues—shared with you…
