I am a multimedia artist skilled in both traditional and digital media. As a figurative artist who combines painting, sculptural elements, and literature, I create narrative work that reimagines ancient stories in more inclusive ways. Alongside my fine art, I have spent many years collaborating with architects and interior designers, creating illustrations for projects including the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Apollo Theater. I have also worked on projects in Belgium, Haiti, and Africa.
Over my years of pursuing parallel careers as an exhibiting fine artist and in architecture, I have combined my fine art background with the needs of architects and architectural clients. I have created beautiful artwork inspired by both. I have turned napkin sketches into digital pastel landscape paintings. I also transformed St. Xavier’s travels into a colorful world map displayed in a freestanding water feature at St. Xavier Prep School in Manhattan. While working on the Empire State Building renovations, I took a black-and-white image of the original, unfinished plans for the lobby ceiling and created a color drawing in Adobe Illustrator, which was then handed off to EverGreene Architectural Arts to produce the full-sized final artwork for installation. Collaborating with the interior designer on Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El, I designed a tile and terrazzo floor for the proposed new lobby and café.
I received my degree in art from the Fashion Institute of Technology and my degree in ancient Greek literature from New York University. I have exhibited in the US and Europe, including Venice during the 2024 Biennial. I have served as exhibition chair and president of the National Association of Women Artists, and have discussed art in many forums, including The Artist Forum TV and the 2014 Women in Leadership Conference at Yale. In fall 2023, I was the artist-in-residence at the New Rochelle Museum of Arts and Culture and created a symposium titled Musing, Metamorphoses, and Medea with scholars Claire E. Scott and Valentina Motta.
My artwork has also been featured in Icarus (1998, 1999), Studio Visit: Volume 37, CreativePaper Issue 8, 2 Bridges 2018, Curating Alexandra Summer Issue 2018, and The Quarterly Winter Edition 2023. Motta and Scott included my work in their recent books, Medea Illustra and Murderous Mothers: Later Twentieth-Century Medea Figures and Feminism, both of which focus on Greek mythology. I received the Ancient Worlds, Modern Communities Grant from the Society for Classical Studies, along with Scott and Motta, for the symposium Musing, Metamorphoses, and Medea. I have also received several awards from the National Association of Women Artists, the 1st Prize in the Out of the Box category from the Portrait Society of America, and was named Artist of the Year by the Barron Art Center.
