I was born in Cambridge, MA, educated at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and The Lorenzo D'Medici Art Institue, Florence, IT. Since 1999, I have been splitting my time working in studios in Florence, IT and Sarasota, FL. Art Historian and author, Sister Wendy Beckett visited my studio in Florence and was a major supporter of my work.
