My fingers have been wrapped around a crayon since crib days, and they've yet to let go. I studied at Hartford Art School, Pratt Institute (BFA Painting), Art Students League of NY, earned a living as a graphic designer in the publishing and printing industries, and continued to exhibit regionally and nationally. Over the years, I've turned my eye and hand towards many subjects, but I've always returned to my most favorite loves - the animals in our lives and the land in which we live.

I share my life in New York's Hudson Valley with a husband, a son, a succession of beloved and amazing dogs, several generations of Barn Swallows, and an endless parade of wild critters.
