She grew up in Brewster, NY, and holds a BFA in illustration from School of Visual Arts in New York City. Her vintage-hued paintings of ordinary objects and places, described as a sort of ‘nostalgic Americana’ and inspired in part by observation, sense-memories and photographs, have been shown nationally, though most regularly in the New York area. Since moving to the Hudson Valley in 2007, she has participated in many local art projects and collaborations, and is on the board of BeaconArts. In 2013 she co-founded Catalyst Gallery in Beacon, where she coordinates with artists to install monthly exhibitions, and curates biannual group shows. She has received several grants to support her work and has attended artist residencies in New Mexico, Vermont, and upstate New York.
