In 2025, a studio fire destroyed my recent paintings and archive.
I am currently rebuilding and developing a new body of work in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
The paintings shown below reflect an earlier phase. New pieces will be added as they emerge. You can see more on Instagram.

Her work explores color, memory, and the emotional resonance of form, moving between abstraction and representation and often drawing from nature and personal observation. She is also the author of a book on organization and creative process.
