After completing a BA degree at the State University College at Buffalo, I continued studies in the Fine and Applied Art Techniques of Sculpture, Figure modeling, Painting, Collage and Drawing at the Cincinnati Art Academe, the Rhode Island School of Design and the Arts Student League of New York City. I was deeply influenced by my teachers, renowned artists Leo Manso, Bruce Dorfman, and Charles Hinemann, to choose collage and assemblage techniques for my own visual expression.
My abstract collages are a medley of color; texture, shape and depth, exploring the interaction among seemingly unrelated materials to achieve a harmonious, emotional effect. Fabric, papers metals, paint, and twigs: nothing is taboo.
It is an honor to have been recognized in the "Artist to Watch" article of Watercolor Magic, December 2005 issue and to receive an Honorable Mention in the "Best of North Carolina Artist", 2005 publication. It’s been a wonderful experience for me to be juried into and win awards in many local art competitions of my North Carolina area. My acceptance in the National Collage Exhibit, 2007, was a first for me to be in a national juried exhibit. Please feel welcome to see my artwork often on display, when showing with The Fine Arts League of Cary, The Visual Arts Exchange, The Raleigh Art Guild and The Triangle Art Guild and now the Cary Gallery of Artists.
My work was juried into the Durham Art Guild 53rd Annual Juried Art Show Oct 25-Nov. 28, 2007,and in 2008 and was the advertising Poster Art for 2008 Spring Daze Cary Arts and Crafts Festival. North Carolina exhibiting opportunities have been juring my work into shows since 1995. Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center Purchased an important piece in 2009 called Three Graces.
Being a founder and organizer of the first Western Wake Artists Studio Tour in my area brought another aspect to exhibiting my work.
This year, March 19-April 24, 2010, I was juried into the CCA Exhibit Kinston, NC.; May 3, 2010, juried into 31st National Juried Exhibit at the Arts Council Gallery, Goldsboro, NC. There received honorable mention award for "World Wrapped in Red."
