I studied visual art and somatics at Hampshire College. Through the 90's my work was primarily representational landscape/architecture. Working to locate and ground myself physically in place, I found plein air painting a permitted, albeit roundabout, means of connecting to the land . Attending massage school in 1999, a leap towards embodiment and dramatic change of landscape, I shifted focus to figure and began a series of self portraits inspired by the alphabet which became "In My Own Language". From 2015 to 2019 I trained in somatic based expressive arts at Tamalpa Institute, Kentfield, California, completing the project while continuing to navigate a highly uncertain breast cancer prognosis. Returning east post Covid 2021, I am leaning into performance and continuing work on "Finding The Ocean" a 365 found object jewelry journal project. I offer expressive arts, somatic therapies and education to individuals and groups.
