My studio is in the green mountains of Vermont where I have lived with my family since 1972. I work part time as an art teacher in the public schools and devote the rest of the time to my artwork and writing.

My background is as an oil painter - in the late 90's I discovered monotypes, a 'painterly' form of printmaking and devoted my time to this process.  More recently, I have returned to painting and work in both mediums.

I have a small press in my studio and approach monoprinting in an exploratory manner, utilizing its immediacy and experimenting with ghosts and multiple layers. I use a variety of techniques including intaglio, stencil, collagraph, paper lithography and chine colle. I enjoy the spontaneity of the monotype process and the element of chance and the unexpected.

I have exhibited throughout New England and participate in the Art Hop in South Burlington in the fall and in Vermont Open Studios on Memorial Day Weekend in May - a weekend devoted to visiting artists in their studios. I am an artist member of the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland, VT. My studio is open year round by appointment.
