bio: Art has been central to my life since my childhood,I was raised by an artist mother in the NY art world. After majoring in painting and printmaking, I've made a living with my art,have been an arts educator and arts advocate. I had a glass etching business for 19 years and most recently a contemporary gallery. My current work combines my love for photography enhanced by the exciting possibilities of the new digital media and painting.
on the importance of art:

"To quote Leo Buscaglia: "'Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.' Art lifts us up from the humdrum, 'does not need to speak to consensus' and shows us that anything is possible."
