About Me

I’m in it for the color and light. I’m drawn to physical structures, rigid forms and, more recently, people. I find beauty in everyday moments, and I work to capture those moments to create a sense of place in my work. 

I grew up in Burlington, Vermont and live here now with my husband and two children. I studied at the Rhode Island School of Design where I completed the first year foundation studies. I graduated from  Middlebury College where I studied the History of Art and Architecture. While at Middlebury, I created large scale oil paintings of cityscapes, construction equipment, and industrial structures.

I took a bit of a break from painting after college and worked in fashion marketing in Vermont and financial services in San Francisco. I’m back in Burlington where I live with my family and am painting full time.
