I studied visual art, postmodern dance and somatics at Hampshire College. I work in painting, drawing, printmaking, art jewelry, ivory free scrimshaw, poetry, and performance. For ten years my visual work focused on landscape. In 1999, while attending school for massage therapy, my focus shifted to figure, and I began a series of self portraits inspired by the alphabet which became the 18 year project "In My Own Language". In 2015, following my third round of cancer treatment, I relocated to California to study with Anna and Daria Halprin. I offer expressive arts therapy and somatic education and continue working on the journal pages for "Finding The Ocean" a 365 piece series of found object jewelry created from June 2012- June 2013. I returned to Key West in 2022 and can occasionally be found vending outside Hemingway's House or Blue Heaven and most recently exploring the north end of US1.
