Vision:

I am a being most at home in nature, whether breathing cool crisp air, planting a garden with my hands deep in soil, or observing a seed pod crack and sprout triumphantly. I am an avid gardener of fruits, flowers and vegetables. I raise chickens and cultivate bees. My meditation practice has attuned me to the oneness of the planet and the interconnectedness of all. The poetry of plants, on the edge of the forest, exhaling the oxygen I breathe in, as I exhale the C02 they consume. Everything alive is connected. We are all of the same molecules.

My work explores the connections between the body and forms in nature: the torso that looks like a seed pod, or an emerging sprout, the anthropomorphized orchid , or the human figure, reaching for the light. I focus on the female figure as I can feel its connectedness to everything else. At one time we were all, both male and female, part of, embedded and nurtured in the female torso.

After decades of absence from making and exhibiting work, I realized my dream to again immerse myself in creating sculpture. I live in Bridgehampton, NY, and Westchester County where my husband and I raised three, now grown, sons.

I hold a BA/BFA from The University of Pennsylvania, and an MFA from the Graduate School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania.
