Artists' Biography
I am a graduate of the Parsons School of Design, where I studied in New York, Paris, and Italy. Upon graduating from Parsons I obtained a Master of Arts in Painting from Montclair State University in New Jersey. I exhibited in two very successful shows during my studies and was awarded second place at the Montclair University bi-annual Westbeth exhibition. In my final year I was awarded first place in the "Liquitex Excellence in Arts" International competition. The painting was exhibited in New York City at the American Council of the Arts, and the painting is held in the Binney and Smith corporate collection.
I have exhibited in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Paris, France. I’ve received numerous awards for my work and my pieces are held in private collections. I was a member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) for nearly 20 years. I served as treasurer with the NAWA South Carolina chapter for over 4 years. I am also member of the Waccamaw Arts and Crafts Guild since 2020, and have exhibited with this organization. Before moving to South Carolina I was a member of two art groups in the Northeast area; The New Art Group of Watchung, NJ and The Lancaster County Art Association in Pennsylvania.
