Act I
1994-2006: After receiving a BA in graphic design from Stockton University in NJ, I worked as an artist in the video game industry at several studios in the San Francisco Bay Area, the last one being the mothership: Electronic Arts. While working full time, I maintained an active studio practice in the Belcher Artists building (it was on Belcher Street—not that we were a bunch of burping artists!). During these years I participated in several group shows: 16th St. Studios, Mad River Post, San Francisco Women Artist’s Gallery, and Open Studios. I was a board member of Bay Area Artist Resource which was an early online community to support and promote artists (now defunct).

Act II
2007-2020 Big move from SF to Philadelphia! (Why you say?) Left video games behind and started my own graphic design studio. From 2008-2016, I was on the board of Positive Space, a Fishtown based arts group. I currently volunteer with PEP (Programs Employing People) in their visual arts program, teaching art to people with disabilities.

Act III
2021+ Scaled down my graphic design business to focus on creating my art. Initiated and coordinated a hyperlocal neighbors art project during the early lockdown period of the pandemic, involving six neighbors collaborating on and circulating collage pieces. I work daily in my home art studio in Fishtown.
