I studied art at Rhode Island School of Design. My love of color and pattern led me to surface pattern design and New York City. Freelancing in the fashion industry as a print designer and fashion illustrator, allowed me to continue to learn various art practices. Between gigs, I studied sculpture and painting at the New York Studio School; printmaking at SVA, and fashion at F.I.T.
In 2021, I moved to Rhode Island. My tiny house is not much bigger than my studio apartment in Manhattan! But I live near the park and the ocean which provides endless inspiration and sources of comfort.
I love experimenting with materials and the process of printmaking. This work on paper begins with printing by hand, using a synthetic water resistant paper as a printmaking plate. Then, I add color with layers of pastels.
