There is something compelling about the dialogue between past, present, and future— the idea that what has come before continually finds new life again. At times, I believe that everything has already been done, that nothing is entirely new. Yet it is in the blending of old and new that something distinct emerges—work that feels both familiar and unexpected.
I am inspired by artists such as Rauschenberg, Warhol, Basquiat, Calder, Matisse, and Diebenkorn—visionaries who not only pushed artistic boundaries but embodied the courage it takes to create without limits. Their influence has guided me in exploring new techniques and in embracing the risk inherent in making art.
My background includes studies in fine art, photography, and graphic design at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, along with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from the University of Vermont. I grew up in Vermont, where I taught skiing and snowboarding in the winters and swimming in the summers. Creativity was always present in my life—I spent countless hours in the darkroom, drawing and painting on whatever surface inspired me.
For the past 18 years, my husband and I have split our time between Florida, Montana, and New Hampshire. My curiosity about the world has led me to live and work in places such as Norway, Germany, St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands, as well as travel extensively while working on cruise ships. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the generosity of people and the richness of diverse cultures, shaping my understanding of what it means to be human.
From this perspective, my connection to popular culture—and ultimately Pop Art— evolved. It has become the visual language through which I work. I invite the viewer into that language, leaving space for personal interpretation and connection.
I believe that an understanding of both global cultures and shared popular imagery brings us closer together—that what unites us is far greater than what divides us, and that art can foster that connection.
I am an award-winning artist, represented by galleries throughout the United States, with collectors worldwide. My work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, published and I continue to exhibit nationally.
