About
I am a painter and printmaker working in Provincetown, MA, US. My work focuses on one’s ongoing familiarity with internal and external consciousness in different environments. I aim to create a dialogue with how memory is managed using place-specific motifs in my work.
I received education and training in printmaking, color theory, composition and art history as part of a specialized curriculum at Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury, MA, US. I have practiced painting, drawing and printmaking since that time, but have supported myself by working as a forensic social worker and later as a research professor at Salem State University. I am part of the Commons Community Studios and am represented by Four Eleven Gallery, both in Provincetown, MA.

Represented by Four Eleven Gallery in Provincetown, MA, USA
Four Eleven Gallery is an exhibition space for emerging and mid-career artists from Provincetown and beyond. The gallery also provides a new platform for guest curated group shows. For over 50 years, the rambling white house at 411 Commercial Street has been a studio and home to many artists and writers. Opened in 2011 by Liz Carney, it is a true painter’s gallery that many locals say evokes a feeling of old Provincetown.
