About

My work is autobiographical, rooted in personal history. As a contemporary visual artist working in sculpture and painting, my creative process investigates the relationship between the conscious and subconcious, the shadow side and unspoken emotions. 

I exhibit my work in both solo and group exhibitions. My art has been included in group exhibitions in galleries and museums in Texas and held in various corporate and private collections around the country.

My paintings have been published in Art Buzz, a contemporary fine art book of emerging artists and Innovators Combatting Addiction, a visual arts book on Addiction and Art. My art has been featured on magazine covers both nationally and internationally including Professional Artist Magazine and Hopkins Medical Journal.

EDUCATION

I have formal training and degrees in both art and psychology. I hold a Textile Design Degree from FIT in NY. I have studied art at The Art Students League and School Of Visual Arts in NY. I have training as a Psychotherapist from the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis in NJ. I hold an MSW from Fordham University in NY and have art therapy training from The Psychodrama Institute in NY.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is autobiographical, rooted in personal history. What drives my process is the internal primal emotions held deep within my soul. Currently exploring abstraction I approach shapes and surfaces as expressions of psychological states, using various mediums including clay, plaster, burlap, string, wire, fabric, elements found in nature and multilayers of applied oxides and pigments.

In my creations I strive to depict spirit, energy, passion and the visual flexibility of depth. My process is one that evolves intuitively, as the dance between form, texture and material interact through continuous action, inviting my viewer to connect on a deeper level influenced by their own personal history. With an understanding of the effects my psyche has on my process I am continually probing feelings hidden deep within my subconscious and ways to express these emotions in my work. I continue to develop through my own self-analysis, which provides fuel for my continual creations.

My current and future interests concern how I will explore the breath of human experiences using art as a vehicle for transformation
