What a lucky kid I was. My parents raised me in a safe & loving home in which I was given the freedom to be the curious & creative being I was born to be. Throughout my life, from my childhood in Pittsburgh, to my days at Shady Side Academy & Bucknell University, I found myself surrounded by strong, intelligent & incredibly kind friends who continue to love me for me & my quirky creativity. I have 3 amazing grown up kiddos who also have amazing hearts. I reside in Fredericksburg, VA where I have found a talented & encouraging art community. My work currently hangs at Canal Quarter Arts in Fredericksburg's Makers District. Life continues to show me that I am at my best when I honor my inner child ... that curious, creative, quirky & very lucky kid!
