I grew up in New York City, and moved to Teaneck, NJ over 30 years ago with my husband and 2 children. Although I no longer live there, I maintain close ties to New York City and visit often. I have worked in many different mediums, including oil paint, watercolor, and fiber. About 15 years ago, I started working with colored pencils, which remain my primary medium. Along with colored pencils, I sometimes use micron pens and pastels.
A starting point for a drawing can be something that appeals to me, an idea, or sometimes a doodle. However my drawings begin, I go in whatever direction they take me as they evolve. They rarely end up where they began, and work best when I have no preconceived notion of what a drawing should be. I am intrigued by ambiguity and how easily our perception of something can change. An image does not have to actually exist in the natural world for us to react to it emotionally or intellectually.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stony Brook University and a Masters Degree from the City College of New York. I have studied art at several places, including The Art Students League and The Art School at Old Church, and have participated in shows in New York and New Jersey.
