About the Artist

A former assistant reference publisher at an international academic publishing house, I am an artist by training and writer by passion.  I began to paint with words at the age of seven, and haven’t looked back.  Lured by the love of language, I combine my love of words and the images they produce with the joy I find in color and design and found myself drawn to the intrigues of the discipline of the monoprint.  Its physicality, lack of boundaries and limitless potential for interpretation drew me in to a new venue for expression. 

Monoprints incorporate very well into miniature unique artist’s books where my love of words and the images they produce combine with the joy of color and design to produce a wonderful synergy; a calligraphed quote or verse reflecting the essence of the abstract image. 

My monoprints are in private collections in the US, England and Japan; accessioned by the Boston Public Library for its American Printmaking Collection; and as cover art for a literary journal. 

I designed and taught “The Art of Calligraphy” at Massachusetts Adult Education Programs in Hanover, Hingham and Abington, as well as Senior Centers in Norwell, Hanover, Hingham, and Weymouth.  Among private collections of my calligraphy, a commemorative book for their minister’s service was commissioned by a New England Lutheran church; other calligraphed works are in private collections in the US, UK, and Japan.

Over the years, I have published poetry, op-ed pieces, fiction, and creative non-fiction for trade journals.  In 2008 “Henry’s Fence”, a short story, appeared as the lead story in the premise-driven literary journal, THEMA; and in 2010 their 20th anniversary cover art was my monoprint entitled, “Catch a Falling Star, and…” 

All of these works span a lifetime of artistic intensity and diligence.  
   
I inherited my artistic talent from my mother, an artist in her own right and my first and most ardent fan, who constantly nurtured both my art and my writing.
