About

I grew up in central New York but have lived in Ohio for 30 years. I have a BS in Construction Management from Utica College of Syracuse University, BFA in Painting from Cleveland Institute of Art and MFA in Painting from Kent State University. I currently work full-time at Enbridge Gas Ohio as a Performance and Productivity Project Manager after 14 years in IT.

I love recycling my artwork, collecting packaging materials, and composing assemblages out of what I have lying around the studio. I love lots of texture and colorful paint.

Ideas start from drawing, which is my thinking process. I combine my sketching with text to explore puns, rhymes, and anecdotes to amuse myself. This is my coping mechanism for anxiety and depression.
