I am an artist, sculptor, Master Photographer, educator, and writer. In 2007, I was awarded the South Florida Cultural Consortium fellowship for Palm Beach County. (For more information, visit http://www.palmbeachculture.com/)
I grew up in the Palm Beaches, studied art in New York City and Florence, Italy, and has a bachelor of fine arts degree from University of South Florida. I hold the Florida Degree of Photographic Excellence and a Master of Photography from Professional Photographers of America.
I create original sculptures and fine arts photography. I have traveled extensively and have won many awards for photography.
In addition I have served on the art faculties of Barry University and Palm Beach Community College.
I am involved in the community, serving as a board member of the Palm Beach Photographic Centre, and a member of Executive Women of the Palm Beaches.

About my artwork

My mission and purpose are to create dynamic works of art that will encourage as many people as possible to reflect on their own lives, discover their purpose and mission, and use this awareness to create a better world for humanity.
