Statement

I am a mixed-media artist with an extensive background in painting and printmaking. My work explores different narratives unified by my art-making techniques.

Bodies of Work

Urban Abstraction: Grounded in my New York roots, this body of work explores the city and its aesthetic and social paradoxes. It questions how constructed space separates or brings people together, and what makes a community or tears it apart.
Dialogue / Interpretation: Growing out of my connection with nature and my abstract emotional world, this work represents my enduring respect for the human spirit as it engages in the profound and complex process of healing.
Material Witness: Uses printmaking to explore the connection between being the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and the experience of immigrants in the US today.

Public Projects & Community Engagement My commitment to using narrative art as a way to address social and emotional concerns has led me to create the following public projects:

The Opioid Project: Changing Perceptions through Art and Storytelling: Created in collaboration with internist and author Dr. Annie Brewster, this initiative seeks to change how society stigmatizes substance use disorder and how we treat those grieving the death of a loved one. By partnering with local groups, institutions, and municipalities, it supports local leadership addressing substance use prevention, education, and treatment (https://www.healthstorycollaborative.org/the-opioid-project).
The Intimacy of Memory: The Art of Loss, Love, and Remembrance: Bridging my background in public health with my experience as an expressive arts facilitator, this project examines why people choose particular objects after someone close to them has died.
Teaching & Workshops: I teach visual arts, lead open studios for seniors in assisted living facilities, and facilitate Memory Cafe workshops tailored for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers (offered both in-person and virtually).
