CURRENT WORK

These days, I have been exploring abstract painting methods in which paint is applied to the canvas without brushes. Carefully mixed paint is poured onto the canvas and then manipulated using various techniques. Mastering these techniques is only part of the equation; choosing pleasing and evocative color palettes, determining the order and dominance of the colors, and applying it with intention and control are the aspects of this method that are really exciting.

BACKGROUND

Based on Long Island, NY, I have been creating since I was a child. During my school years I took every available art elective, was named "most artistic" in the yearbook, won the annual art award, was the art editor of the school newspaper, and won "best graphics in the Diocese. This, plus my love of art, lead me to pursue a BFA from Pratt Institute.

I work in a variety of methods and mediums including ceramics, acrylic paint, photography, jewelry, woodworking, and mosaic tile. I obsessively up-cycle and refinish furniture, dabble in faux paint finishes, and love to tackle home improvement and decorating projects. I also sew, crochet, and garden.
