After years of painting and illustrating while working as a journalist and in video, in 2019 I had the opportunity to move back to New Jersey and pursue my fine art painting with more vigor. My paintings usually begin with nature or scene exploration. After I photograph my inspiration, I devise my interpretation. I usually work in acrylic or oils and paint in a modern impressionist style. I initially pursued art studies at Pratt Institute. Over time I became a video journalist. Much of my work in media has showcased human struggle and the tenacity of the human spirit. Her documentary, "Dust to Dust: The Health Effects of 9/11,"(Sundance Channel, 2006) was reviewed by The New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/11/arts/television/11dust.html
