I have been an artist most of my life, drawing and writing poetry, always looking around, observing people and trees, clouds, and other artist’s work.

Moving numerous times, more than I can count, always curious of what comes next, is reflected in my work that continually evolves. My formal education, (when my children were teens and college age), includes the Art Student’s League, Brooklyn College, New York University (Master’s in Art Therapy), and the International Psychotherapy Institute. These incredible institutions of learning, guided by exceptional teachers, shaped me, equipped me with valuable skills, and led me to work I loved, defining the latter half of my artistic journey. Working for thirteen years in Behavioral Health, followed by a small Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Practice, gave me little time to paint. I doodled. In the early 2000s, my resignation from formal Behavioral Health opened the door for further study and deep immersion in my artistic practice. I embarked on active study through workshops, Salute, classes, and a professional critique group. And here I am, fulfilling the thread of artistic expression through visual means.
