As a painter and mixed media artist with an extensive background in printmaking, my work explores different narratives unified by my art-making techniques:
Material Witnessis a traveling mixed media exhibition exploring my mother’s experience as a Holocaust survivor and the parallels immigrants are living through today.
Urban Abstraction represents a body of work that explores the city, steeped in its aesthetic and social paradoxes. How does constructed space separate or bring people together? What makes a community and what tears it apart? This interest in the power of place can be traced back to my New York roots.
Dialogue/Interpretation grows out of my connections with nature and with my abstract emotional world. It represents my enduring respect for the human spirit, as it engages in the profound and complex process of healing.
My interest in art as a way to address social, political and emotional realities, and foster community-based dialogue has led to me create the following projects:
The Opioid Project: Changing Perceptions through Art and Storytellingseeks to change the way society views substance use, and addiction, as well as how people treat those grieving the death of a loved one. The Opioid Project works to highlight the complex social narrative of addiction, while giving space and ‘voice’ to all those connected to the opioid epidemic. By partnering with local organizations and municipalities, The Opioid Project supports local leadership as it seeks to address stigma, education and community
Workshop and visual art teacher:I teach visual arts to seniors living in assisted living facilities and run workshops through Memory Cafes, which address the needs of those with dementia. During Covid, I have adapted workshops to teach over zoom.
