I have been drawing, painting and exhibiting my work for approximately 30 years. My work has been shown in various cities throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. I earned my MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 1990. In addition to making my art, in 2007 I obtained a Masters in Library and Information Science. My interest in special collections librarianship has influenced my artwork, as I often utilize old black and white photographs as subject matter for my paintings.
