Working in oil, watercolors, pen and ink, and collage, I create layered pieces from various materials on paper and digitally.

 With a B.A. in Multicultural Education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst I taught for 15 years in a Kindergarten classroom. In addition to consulting with teachers on incorporating art into their classrooms, I offer workshops and classes to children, adults and other artists.
