I am an artist with a strong background in drawing and painting, working with oil, egg tempera, watercolor, acrylics, fresco, and various drawing media. I earned my Master’s of Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, where I also taught for seven years. Before that, I worked as a painting conservator in New York and Boston. My work has been exhibited and sold in galleries throughout Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New York, Florida, and Europe, and is held in private collections across the United States. I hold a Baccalaureate in painting from The Cooper Union, a Conservation of Paintings degree from Florence, Italy, and was honored with the Joan Mitchell Grant in 2000, awarded to just ten graduate art students nationwide.

For over 20 years, I have taught painting privately to students of all ages. Many of my students have gone on to attend top art schools such as Cooper Union, Parsons, Pratt, Rhode Island School of Design, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Chicago Art Institute. Others have exhibited and sold their work in galleries. My classes are designed for all skill levels, focusing on developing and refining drawing and painting techniques.
