Born in Pittsburgh in 1968, this artist has built a steady practice rooted in exploration of form, color, and texture. Grounded by early encounters with local studios and community studios, she developed a patient, detail-oriented approach to making work that emphasizes materiality and process. Her practice traverses drawing, sculpture, and mixed-media assemblage, often inviting viewers to consider the relationship between surface and structure. She pursues opportunities to collaborate with fellow makers and to participate in spaces that nurture experimental inquiry. Through time, her work has remained focused on the act of making as a means of storytelling, reflection, and discovery.
