My Background
I realized I wanted to be an artist when I was 10. I attended the School of Visual Arts in NYC and Kent State University in Ohio for Advertising Art. I finished my BFA in painting at Maine College of Art and Design in Portland, Maine. I have designed costumes for many onstage productions in Maine and worked as a set dresser / art director on TV commercials.

My Inspiration
My Background
In my mixed media pieces, I use found objects. By repetition, the objects may fall into order or disorder, often evolving from deeply personal experiences. In every piece, a transformation takes place. I want the viewer to see a collective image and come closer to be surprised. My portfolio also includes drawings and abstract sculptures.
