As an art major at the The College of William and Mary, I focused primarily on architectural design, graduating with High Honors.  I followed up with a Master’s degree in architectural history at the University of Virginia.  After living and working for several years in upstate New York, our family returned to Virginia to settle in the Shenandoah Valley.  Though I still take on the occasional pro bono architectural design and preservation project, my main focus now is my studio work.

I am by turns a painter, printmaker, architectural designer, and general magpie for materials and methods.  While I strive to maintain a disciplined work regime, and create unified bodies of work in series within each single medium, working in a variety of media helps me to generate ideas and test visual concepts.  Product and process hold equal appeal for me.

My goal is to work with a playful seriousness of purpose.  A broad palette of materials encourages my exploration of the unexpected - incongruities of shape or material, startling juxtapositions, and the sensation of serendipity and novelty within a familiar setting.
