I like to challenge traditional ways of working and adhering to a singular media. I use various techniques and materials: painting, printmaking, sewing, collage, video, installation, and book arts to reconcile my perceived experience of chaos as intuition; uncertainty and coincidence as order, clarity, harmony, and connection.  Through making art, I experience disorganization and coherence repeatedly and delightedly - a process that has engaged me for 40-plus years. I have shown regionally for the past 25 years, and attended residencies, such as the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, New Mexico (1998 and 2008), which have challenged my process and provided venues to connect to communities.  Shows include: Sewn Mixed media works at Art on the Kent, monotypes and paintings at the AVA Gallery, Lebanon; installations and collaborative installations at the Flynndog, Burlington; and prints and hair drawings at Burlington City Arts. Residencies include Vermont Studio Week at the Vermont Studio Center in 2018 and a six-month residency at New City Galerie in 2015. Grants awarded include: a Development Grant from the Vermont Arts Council, 2009, to learn letterpress printing; a Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council, 2004, to help fund a collaborative video project with Jane Honer and Karen McGregor; Kittredge Foundation Grant, 2002, to learn more printmaking.   

new new art studio is a teaching and production studio focused on the facilitation and making of fine art. I bring 25 years of teaching to the workshops I offer. I co-own the space with my partner, sculptor Kevin Donegan.  We are open for special events and by appointment. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or would like to see the space – we love to share!
