I’m a Painter Illustrator and a native New Yorker. My medium is usually watercolors.
MessageMy medium is usually watercolors. Trying to catch the bounce and movement of light, I’ve used several techniques. Often they involve cutting up paintings and rearranging the elements. I’ve made them as woven pictures, mosaics and collages.
After college I worked as a designer for Onondaga Silk Company. When I became a mother I moved to freelance illustration. I did magazine illustrations, book jackets and pharmaceutical promotion pieces. Between assignments and promoting, I painted.
