Hey Everyone,

I am in the process of moving to Aruba with Hal where we have some exciting things happening in paradise! I am offering two more Sunday afternoons in October to come by and have you take away my art to a new home. Stop in take your art (no limit) and make a small donation for our giving a heifer to a family in Ukraine or a donation to our move to Aruba. We look forward to seeing you!

I studied at the University of Vermont for a BS in Art Education, where I was also a competitive skier. I earned her MFA from Northern Vermont University in 2010. I have shown my work in juried and commercial shows in Los Angeles at The Other Art Fair, Italy, Czech Republic, Philippines, NYC, Connecticut, Texas, Vermont USA as well as in online shows and magazines.

Moving and making art have interested me for decades. When I entered grade school I was a ballet dancer and had a love for knitting. My kinesthetic awareness made me curious about how my eye, mind and body bring paint and sport together to create something new.. At UVM, where I created large paintings of futuristic bike racers, I found my visual expression in color and form while competing at skiing and biking internationally.

In graduate school an injury made me reconsider what it meant for me to paint authentically. I woke up one day and invented rollerblade painting in my garage because I wanted a new wellness experience. While using my rollerblades to play with colors, I feel connected with wheels as a source of not only transportation but creativity. Gestural movements bring an awareness to my body cultivating my body's confidence to trust my movements while I develop my desired images." My large-scale rollerblade paintings, first executed in 2008, as well as smaller-scale "wheel work," all go beyond the brush and extend into my identity as an athlete using transportation as a source of inspiration. My paintings are brightly colored, visually dynamic, planes using the wheel as my body's paint brush, that relate to a series of emotional phases induced by painting with speed, texture, line and form. My painting practice transcends technical innovation giving a unique texture to the forms I create as they speak to a new dimension of human nature and visual art.
