I live in upstate NY, in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Making art is my passion and began early in my life and has remained an integral part of who I am and how I see the world. I have studied, and continue to study, under a number and variety of established, award-winning, and inspired artists, including Bernard Dellario, Ann Larsen, Mary Bentz Gilkerson, and Rita DiCaprio.
