The paintings are visual narratives on resilience and the fragility of human connections. Through my paintings I communicate what I believe is the essenceof humanity.  Resilience is a theme that reverberates throughout my work and life.

Adding distressed texture illustrates disquieting subject matter symbolic of physical and emotional pain. Black and white letters imply conversations.

Elements of race, gender and relationships are portrayed as fragmented and sometimes disparate with recognizable eyes staring back at the viewer.   The current social climate where we are acutely aware of, and often tormented by others, begs us to consider the vast and unknowable potentials of our futures.  

Incorporating found objects and collected ephemera adds personal context of women's shared experiences.  Artworks with couples represent a time in my life when I questioned my standing in a relationship and the power play of give and take.

I studied art at the State University of New Paltz, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education.  Raised in Hartsdale, New York, I llive in Richmond, Virginia.
