She completed her BFA at the Art Institute of Chicago and her MFA at the California College of the Arts. She is a bi-coastal artist based in Brooklyn, NY and Berkeley, CA. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Her focus was in oils on canvas up until two years ago; her works were mainly narrative. At that time she changed her primary medium to using water-soluble wax crayons on watercolor paper. And she has been building her own still lifes focusing on pattern, shadow, form, composition and vibrant color.
