I am a self-taught watercolorist, as well as a teacher, gardener, mother, and wife. As a child, I roamed Yosemite National Park and the rocky beaches of the Pacific Ocean. In my teen years, I spent many hours behind the lens of a camera, exploring the ivy-covered nooks of Princeton, New Jersey.
That early habit of close observation continues to shape my work. I am drawn to quiet, everyday scenes—windows, flowers, glass, and the way light moves across them. My paintings focus on moments that might otherwise go unnoticed: a vase casting a long shadow, a glimpse of flowers through a window, or a small interaction in a garden.
Working in watercolor, I am particularly interested in transparency, color, and the shifting relationship between light and form. This sensitivity to light and detail also informs my work as a jewelry artist, where I explore similar ideas of color, composition, and balance on a smaller scale.
Through both painting and jewelry, I am interested in the act of looking—slowing down to notice, consider, and translate what I see.
I live in New Rochelle, New York, with my greatest supporters—my husband and two children.
