I am a Miami based artist born in Cumberland, RI. My artwork has been described as urban constructivism. I creates intricate layered paintings with unusual materials and my own altered images. Working with a combination of photography and assemblage, the constructing often suggests the very materials of which the subjects are made. I incorporate various mediums to create texture and meaning. I manipulate perspective and weave patterns in unexpected compositions to amplify feelings and spaces. The Bauhaus concept, architecture, history, space, physics, and philosophy inspire my creative pursuit.
I graduated from The Museum School Boston and Tufts s University where I was a 5th year Traveling Scholar Recipient. This school was an amazing experience for me that formed my development as an artist. Encouraged to try all disciplines; I became aware of all things being potential vehicles for the creative. Most recently I trained at The Slade School of Art, London in their summer intensive program. My interest in physics has led to an ongoing collaboration with CERN’s art@cms program. I am always inspired through travel and direct experiences with different cultures. I was an artist in residence at The South Florida Arts Center in Miami Beach, Florida for close to a decade and served on the board as the artist representative for her last two years. I am fortunate to be a two-time fellowship recipient from The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, I have received two Pollock-Krasner Fellowships and three Paul D.
