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.
