I love color. I enjoy cutting paper and fabric and repositioning the pieces to create quilts and collages. I am influenced by Matisse, Milton Avery, Romare Bearden and Faith Ringgold.
From an early age, I knew I wanted to leave my small town in Connecticut and see as much of the world as possible. Since then I have traveled around the world and lived in France, Italy and Mexico. My favorite subject activity is recording my environment.
As an Urban Sketcher I draw and paint my surroundings and have published three books on my travel sketches and watercolors.
I enjoy combining my interests in collage with my studies of art history, fashion, and sewing.
