Her work can be seen in the collections of the Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Castille-La Mancha, Spain. She earned an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1996, and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture during the summer of 1995. The Fellowship has given me validation that my work is important and central, that people have faith in it. You have the support of a community. And the mere fact that I'm here means people will take me and my work more seriously.
Writing is hard, but here there is nothing but opportunity.
I have more time, and more room, than I did at home. And I'm surrounded by people that care about what I'm doing. The Fellowship provides the opportunity to finally pursue this project with concentrated attention and rigor. I get some structure, which I need, having my family here. And I'm finding the landscape and the FAWC communal environment is having an important impact on both my son and me.
