I’m an artist who works from my studio and anywhere else I travel to make paintings that explore the human connection to the mysterious. In the words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, I am seeking to convey the “Wonder and Radical Amazement” I feel from my subjects. In the last year or so, I have been finding that radical amazement in plants.  Animals have also been prominent in my work – animals as witness, protector, guide, companion, meditation and muse. I find acute attention to a subject whether it is inanimate like a car or the natural world, or even the text of a blessing, helps me feel connectively with all that there is.   I use a variety of materials, from paint to paper collage to fabric, to capture a specific moment of wonder.

My work is represented in a number of public collections, including the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville and the Alvin J. Fine Museum in the Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco;  Baptist Women’s Hospital, Lebonheur Hospital and Baptist Children’s Hospitals in Memphis, The Memphis Jewish Home, Memphis Public Libraries,  amongst many others.

I’ve served as a visiting artist in the Muse Festival in Shoham, Israel (2019) and exhibited in the Jerusalem Biennale (2017). In 2021 I was commissioned to create the art for the Ark of a reform Synagogue in Shoham, Israel.

Originally from Long Island, NY, I’m a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, and the Boston University School for the Arts.  In 1993 I moved to Memphis, where I live today with my sculptor husband and two cats.

I welcome commissions and have done many family “Heritage” portraits, car portraits and pet portraits.
