I’m a Brooklyn Girl. I tried to get away, but, after wasting time in Long Island City and Manhattan, the magnets realigned and pulled me in. This is a 'better' Brooklyn than the one that I grew up in, but I remain bemused by the surge in post-suburban gentrification.

|
 | My art illuminates and finds beauty in everyday struggles, and in the effects of trickle-down environments. Nature emerges in the vacuum left by urban entropy.
|
|
Through my professional experience, I am adept at using computer applications and combining mediums to work graphically with brochures, posters and murals. Here's my holiday card from December 2011.
|  |
|
 | I've guided much of my own artistic process, helped by courses at Brooklyn College, New York Academy of Art, School of Visual Arts, and Hunter College. I have extensive professional experience with computer-based design and print production.
|
|
| As part of my interest in using art for a greater public good. I'm part of a team creating a mural at Woodhull Hospital in Bushwick, and I'm a finalist in the Uncover Church Avenue storefront mural contest. |  |
|
 | I have shown my art at a variety of Brooklyn-based venues,and juried shows, including a competition-winning cover for a program for Grizzly Bear and Owen Pallett with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. |
|
I want to show and share my work, for my evolving professional aspirations, and in the hope of creating synergy and dialogue with other artists.
|  |
|
| For 2012, I'm planning a Kensington/Windsor Terrace Art Walk. I am also planning to update my children's book portfolio. For several new works on Clayboard, my process will lean toward simplifying the image, not the thought. |
