I am a painter and printmaker living and working on the desert fringes of Los Angeles County. Growing up within the grid that is New York City informs my geometric abstractions rendered in layers of wax, resin and pigment; they reflect the tension between humans and nature, structure and function, order and chaos, revealing a world built on mathematical shapes that, regardless of absolutes, never quite feels defined. The works in my “Geomancy” series, which began in the chaos and uncertainty of COVID, continue my exploration of geometric abstraction. Incorporating geometric origami forms rendered in paper, the encaustic wax is an integral part of the work, functioning not just as a glue, but as an element that encapsulates, solidifies, and freezes a moment in time. 

My encaustic paintings, monoprints, etchings, collagraphs, and mixed media works have been curated into group and solo exhibits across the country, most prominently at the Chaffey Community Museum of Art in Ontario, California which holds one of my encaustic monotypes in their permanent collection. I am the founder and chief wrangler of “Old Broads” a group of 30 female and female-identifying artists over the age of 50, living and working in the greater Los Angeles area.
