I grew up in Riverhead, LINY. When I was sixteen my family moved to Chicago, and my life was a bit of a roller coaster. It wasn’t until I was married with children, that I allowed myself to follow my interest in art. Even then, it has taken years to feel comfortable in something that was a guilty pleasure for me. In my free time, I would create pieces from ideas that I felt I needed to express. I enjoy working in mixed media and in a large format.

It feels as if I am part of the piece.
