Originally from the Hudson Valley New York, I have made my home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico since 2009.  I was formerly the owner of America House Gallery in Piermont, NY, and of Dragon Tree Design, a garden design/build company.  After graduating university I made my living as a batik artist, showing at national and regional shows, winning a first prize from the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen annual Exhibition.

I studied painting with Mary Brenneman, Maggie Siner, Nick Wilton, Ian Roberts, Carmen Jimenez, Lourdes Rivera, among others in Mexico, the US and Europe.

In San Miguel I have shown my work at Gallery 46, a one person show at the Biblioteca, Galeria Obraje, and at Manuk Gallery in the Fabrica Aurora Art Center; in La Manzanilla, Jalisco, at Gallery 10.
