Born in Columbus, Ohio, I drew superheroes before studying Painting and Art History at Washington University in St. Louis. My study included a semester in Florence, Italy and continued into graduate school at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. I currently live in Baltimore where I was a resident artist at School 33 Art Center from 2008 - 2011. I have exhibited in various states and was a finalist for Miami University’s William & Dorothy Yeck Young Painter’s Award in 2013. My work still addresses the heroic figure through mythology, American history & personal experience.
The daughter of a fine arts painter and historian, I have always had a penchant and appreciation for art. My love for art, however, was put on hold as I pursued a rewarding career as a professor of psychology. During that time, I would steal bits of time to experiment with styles and mediums hoping to one day give my art more focus. Since moving to Baltimore, I have benefitted greatly from studying painting at the Schuler School of Fine Arts. There I came to the realization that I missed doing art and wanted to pursue it full time. I am now devoting myself to my first love.
