My love of art and the creative process has been a lifelong passion.
I earned a BA in fine arts from The University of New Hampshire. I always knew I wanted to bring my creativity into my professional life. I was employed at several high tech publications over 10 years where I worked as a graphic designer and eventually art director.
Currently I am retired from the publishing world and I work from my home studio creating digital collages and mixed media works as well as studying and learning new processes through on-line courses where I further develop my skills using Photoshop and iPad applications.
My artwork has been published numerous times in the acclaimed monthly on-line publication Living the Photo Artistic Life as well as the Spring 2018 issues of the print magazine Somerset Digital Studio. I have also has exhibited works in the 2019 small works show at The Switchboard gallery in Haverhill, MA as well as the 2019 small works show at Porter Mill Studios, MA and in 2021 at The Essex Art Center gallery in Lawrence, MA. Currently I show my work at the Salem Art Association as part of their monthly member showcases. I am also a member of The Danvers Art Association.
“Most of my work incorporates my own photographs combined with other artists’ content such as textures, photos and vintage ephemera. Other images are created solely with royalty-free stock images from other photographers, which I then transform into whatever vision or emotion I am trying to convey,” she explained. “Some of my favorite works to date are created with photos I have taken while traveling to places such as Italy and New York City, which I then combine with other materials to give them a painterly feel.”
