I was born in Bedford, Virginia and those days spent musing in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains have been a major influence on my work. I attended Richmond Professional Institute now Virginia Commonwealth University and graduated Suma Cum Laude from The University of New Hampshire with a BFA in sculpture and printmaking. In addition to being a member of New Hampshire Art Association, I also have membership in League of NH Craftsmen, NH Women's Caucus for Art, Monotype Guild of New England, Dover Art Association and past member of The Boston Printmakers and New England Sculptures Association. My work is represented in galleries, professional organizations and private collections.
