Artist Statement:
Born in Boston, MA. Graduated
Cum Laude from University of
Massachusetts at Amherst with
a B.F.A in Printmaking.
My use of urban imagery began
in 1992. At that time I
studied the work of Romare
Beardon (a collage artist)
whose work lead me to my own
collages and then to an
obsession with city themes. I
have always had a fascination
for cities, New York City
especially. My attraction to
NYC is based foremost on
architecture and man-made
structures (such as light
posts, crosswalk signals,
traffic lights and one-way
signs.) The "one-way" sign
became a distinguished feature
in my fine art prints. I
enjoyed the rigidity of lines
the structures created. Power
lines and fences contain and
reinforce the architecture.
People are secondary to (and
only implied through) the the
structures themselves; they
support the people. The city
wallpapers the atmosphere. The
buildings are repetitious
patterns which formulate a
backdrop for human existence.
I choose to work with imagery
of older buildings, opposed to
new ones, because I feel they
tell a story. Aging buildings,
surrounded by rusting fences
have history in them. I enjoy
depicting cityscapes, but I
also like rural environments.

The pin cushion bra really
says it all. Hundreds of tiny,
decorated beads show on the
outside of each cup. A
frightening forest of sharp
pins pierce the inside.
