About the Artist
Having lived on the Long Island Sound, waterscapes are my native vision transformed to oil-on-canvas. In recent months I found a Tucson water oasis to add to my life-long series, Water Close-up, which was featured in Desert Leaf, Nov 2020. A recent painting, Agua Caliente, was chosen for the up-coming 2024 Arizona Biennial where it will hang in the Tucson Museum of Art, October through February.
Having moved from New England to Tucson AZ eight years ago and accustomed to working on location, I found the desert vast and without boundaries. To create intimacy with my new surroundings, I chose cacti I found beautiful, planted them in pots, painted their portraits and launched my series, Desert Contained—later featured in the Arts Foundation Tucson Open Studio 2020.
I was raised in the New York City area and received a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Boston University.
