Who Am I

I'm an artist, a maker--I love setting my mind and hands to working on anything from drawings to wooden bowls, and gold-leaf (gilt) objects.  Another one of my focuses is restoring old frames, glass gilding, cleaning and
preserving paintings and other art objects.  

My History

I have always loved taking on new projects--a chance to utilize creative problem-solving skills.  
I live to work with my hands, create,  fix and/or refresh things.  My formal art education began with photography, experimenting with alternative process, and even still today, I use a Polaroid camera--taking it with me wherever I travel.  I majored in Fine Arts at Elmira College and took classes in a wide variety of subjects and media: bronze casting, ceramics, oil painting, printmaking, and drawing.  I found fluency in these areas, and still utilize my skillsets to the best of my ability.  I earned my MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston at Tufts University in 2015.  Adding to my toolbox wood carving, digital media, mould-making, and welding.  

Currently, I do all the artistic work I can get my hands on and I love every minute of the process.  I love collaborating and working with other artists, developing ideas, and bringing things to form.  I try to deepen my skillset, whenever I can.  I am a proud  card-carrying member of the Society of Gilders.
