Studio at 823 Carpenter Street, Philadelphia

---

I'm a painter based in South Philadelphia, working out of a studio on 823 Carpenter Street. Before that, I was a hardware tech, a designer, a video producer, a waitress, a mother — and sometimes all of the above at once. Through it all, the drive to make art never left. If anything, it sharpened.

I grew up in Succasunna, a strange little town in North Jersey, and came to Philly to attend the Philadelphia College of Art (Class of ’81) back when punk ruled the streets and Frank Rizzo loomed large.

For nearly 30 years, I worked in a major architectural firm, designing for clients in cultural, healthcare, and sports industries — while quietly building the foundation for my own work.

Now, in my South Philly studio, I focus full-time on painting. My work  plays with time, memory, and perception, fed by the restless energy of the city I call home.
