Encouraged by her father, also an artist, she attended Maine College of Art where she focused on fine art print making. She is well-traveled and has chosen the state of Maine as her home, the beauty of which she depicts in many of her images. A resident of Boothbay Harbor she shows her work in local shops all over Midcoast Maine.

“From the fabric to the thread I try to us as many repurposed materials as possible. My mission is to breath new life into something that was once discarded as waste and turn it into something that can be loved once again.”
