Though now rooted in my home state of Connecticut, I spent formative years living in Southern California and the United Kingdom, traveling coast to coast and country to country. Wild spaces, rugged topography, and the churn of land and sea generate ideas for my oil paintings, which are big, bright, and intuitive. I loved drawing and coloring from a young age, and was encouraged to embrace these creative inclinations. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with Magna Cum Laude honors from Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, and a Master of Arts in Painting, University of Edinburgh, Scotland. I am a 2009 Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar of Goodwill and a recipient of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation Artist Trust Award (2019) and Connecticut Office of the Arts Artists Respond Grant (2020).

In addition to painting, I love pottery, playing fiddle and guitar, locally roasted coffee, second-hand stores, and traveling around coastal new england. I live in Goshen, CT with my husband and teenaged stepdaughters. My studio is located at Whiting Mills in Winsted.
