About
I studied printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a BFA in 1975. I joined the Experimental Etching Studio in Boston shortly after graduation, where I taught etching and monoprinting. In 1989 I graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/Tufts University with a MFA in painting. I work with color and pattern to create complex, imaginative landscapes and I am inspired by the natural world, incorporating scientific concepts from astronomy, archeology and biology into my work. I explore a variety of media including mosaics, ceramics, printmaking and painting.
I have shown extensively throughout New England and my work is in numerous corporate and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The Boston Athenaeum and Children's Hospital, Boston. I recently completed a public art project in Broward County Florida where I created paintings for four libraries there. I also designed a 22' long mosaic mural for the Frieda Garcia Park in Boston and a 6’x6’ mosaic for the Iron Street Park in Boston.
