About the artist…
I was born in Bethesda, Maryland, and moved to Hoboken in the early 1980s to work as a textile designer in New York City. My creative journey began with simple frame looms for weavings, which soon grew into larger, more complex tapestries – Gobelin high looms. With the support of a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, I deepened my exploration of textiles and later pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
After returning to New Jersey, I continued to weave and paint, working for several years on tapestries at the Ruth Scheuer Studio and at a private studio at the National Arts Club. Over time, painting became an important parallel practice. I studied figurative painting for five years at the Art Students League of New York, where I worked with Ted Jacobs and Peter Cox. These experiences—rooted in both craft and fine art—continue to shape the textures and images that appear in my work today.
