Education & Background

    With an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Psychology, photography managed to link my past interests with a desire to make art. I began my master’s degree at Columbia College in Chicago. I transferred and completed my Master’s of Arts Degree at the International Center of Photography, in an intensive 56-credit program, affiliated with New York University. I wanted to finish before having children; therefore, I presented my graduate thesis show while I was 8 months pregnant.

    I was told to fit my kids into my lifestyle, a goal that was not always easy or possible. I have spent the last 13 years trying to merge my life as an artist with my life as a mother of four children. For that reason, I incorporate accessible materials like pencils, oil pastels, and water based oil paints, which do not require turpentine or much preparation time. I work in my little cocoon I call home. Now, as my children are getting older, I have decided to devote more time to my art and take the next step to get my artwork out into the world.

Artist Statement

    My work explores the relationship between the physical body and the world around us with the expression of body language. I try to outline my own body in space by blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, perception and reality, feelings and facts. I believe there is a constant spiral of these connections and separations that begin at birth and continue to build throughout our lives.
