In 1974, I received my MFA at the California Institute of the Arts. However, even though I was represented in LA by a prominent gallery with several shows under my belt, I left the West Coast to marry, live in Massachusetts and raise my son. I worked briefly as an art instructor at a local community college but was always a mother and artist and housewife. Between 1988 and 2002, I also installed and worked with designers of exhibits in the art museums in this area: MASSMoCA, the Clark Art Institute, The Berkshire Museum, and the Williams College Museum of Art.
In the 70s, Max Protetch represented me both in Washington, DC, and New York. That relationship concluded, however. As a result of my own representation in the 1980s and early ’90s, my work was exhibited often in the NE. I received local grants to do a photographic piece for the town in which I lived and to execute a bronze sculpture installed in Pittsfield, MA, in the exterior “sitting area” of the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts.
Between 1996 and 2012, I wrote about jazz and creative improvised music for top online and print magazines and my own writing blog. Since 2017, I have written about painters and ceramic artists and their exhibits for an online magazine out of NYC.
In 2022, a written piece, God Knows You are Here For a Reason, was published by the evergreenreview online. My art illustrated the writing.
My work is in the collections of the Sol LeWitt Foundation, Georgetown University, and the Sidwell Friends School as well as many private collections. My drawings have also been chosen as covers for recordings and by prize-winning interior designers to be featured in their house designs and in promotional layouts for print magazines.
My work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Europe, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and in Albany and New York City, NY. Some shows produced catalogs in which my work is featured.
In 2023, an installation work, Syntactical Shifts, was shown at Installation Space on Eagle St in North Adams, MA.
In 2024, I spent a week in residency at the studio of Sol LeWitt. The work produced is shown here.
I have been working assiduously on mixed media series, images of which have been posted on my website here, here, and here.
I am represented by a gallery in Philadelphia. I am also a member of ecoartspace, a group of over 1000 members whose work concentrates on our earth and the expressions concerning environmental crises.
