Bio
I was lucky to grow up in New York City where I could visit art museums and experience the cultural profusion of a major city. Spending summers in Rhode Island at my grand-parents’ near the ocean was yet another blessing. In my thirties I migrated to San Francisco for a while and discovered a vibrant West Coast art scene and beautiful inspiring landscapes. Still, I missed New England and after a decade moved back East. Living in central Vermont with my husband fits us perfectly. He is an acoustic guitar builder, and with our cat and dog, we enjoy the wild habitat, woods, rivers and villages here. We work at home in our own studios and live only driving distance from New York City, Boston and the ocean.
I hold a BFA in painting from UMass and an MA in Liberal Studies with a thesis in painting from Dartmouth College.
