2025 ABOUT

I am an award-winning former New York artist, poet, illustrator, writer and peace lover who now
resides in the Berkshires in Massachusetts since 2023 with Walter and our crazy puppy who
answers to Miss Mabel Sunshine.

I got back to my art on a dare at a NYC women’s workshop. Before that I worked in the NYC
advertising field, tried life as a NYC standup comic and writer, shared my opinions as a national
blogger, volunteered as the New York Coordinator for Project Linus, became a certified creativity coach, a Reiki Advanced Practitioner and I am a graduate of F.I.T where I majored in Fashion Illustration and Advertising Design and then I wasn’t sure what else I wanted to be.

But my art knew.

I have been a contemporary mixed media artist since 2010. In 2016, after the Pulse nightclub
murders in Orlando Florida, I took time off to work on my answer to hate and discrimination in
this world with: Little Love Letters: A Peaceful Revolution.

From 2018- 2022, I was the greeting card designer for the art exhibits at the Nassau County
Museum of Art on Long Island, NY. Some of the shows that I designed cards for were: “True
Colors,""Wild Kingdom" That '80s Show,""Blue, "The Seasons.” "The Energy Project: The Power of Art," "Songs Without Words: The Art of Music,” “Heroines of Abstract Expressionism,” “La Belle Epoque,""The Supernatural in Art."

I have been very busy since we moved to the Berkshires. I have shown my art at the Lichtenstein
Gallery in Pittsfield and at the TLC in Hudson, New York. I have donated my art to fundraisers for the Berkshire Art Association and the Becket Arts Center.

In 2024, I was interviewed in The Artful Mind Magazine and The Berkshire Eagle did a human-
interest piece on my Little love Letters: A Peaceful Revolution.

 

I joined the board at the Berkshire Art Association and am now their VP of Outreach and
Collaboration.

 

Then in October 2024, I joined Wild Writing, an online site where writers are free to put down their thoughts and share with the community. Out of this I found my love again for writing contemporary poetry. It is my renewed passion, and I apologize to my art practice, but I still make time to create in black and white or in color.

In February 2025, I started a poetry column in The Artful Mind. Each month, I share a poem about what is going on in my life and the world.

 

So, now I’m exhausted, but I am proof that you can go on this crazy up and down life and then land where you are supposed to land. And it is finally a soft landing.
