Step into my light-filled studio and immerse yourself in a vibrant world of over 100 original, contemporary paintings. Explore the creative process firsthand through one of my engaging art workshops.
My passion for art began at the age of three, when I first picked up a crayon, and it has only deepened over time. I find endless inspiration in the rich interplay of color and nature, continually fascinated by how they influence emotion and perception.
After studying art at Alfred University, I broadened my academic path with a business degree from CCC, a BS in Marketing, and an MA in Liberal Studies from Empire State University.
My professional journey led to creative leadership roles, including Advertising Manager at Gannett Newspaper Division and Director of Corporate Relations for Johnson at Cornell, where I combined artistic insight with strategic communication and business expertise.
The paintings I design, explore the intersection of neural aesthetics, psychology, and visual perception. Each piece emerges through a tactile, dynamic process, often built from layered acrylic and ink on canvas or birch board, and finished with a glossy resin surface.
As a certified color therapist, Color Me Beautiful analyst, and lecturer in color theory, I have spent years developing a nuanced understanding of how color shapes the human experience. I am also a GNSI scientific illustrator, a faculty member at 171 Cedar Arts, and an active Rotarian. Visit my workshops page on my website to see what creative events I am offering each month.
