As a teen, I discovered photography; at the same time, I began writing. Eventually, I moved on to painting and because of a grant, was fortunate enough to spend a year at the SMFA where I discovered printmaking. My work is in a number of public and private collections. I am also the author of two novels; two poetry chapbooks; and two non-fiction chapbooks. As it has everyone, the year has affected me and my work and I’ve tried to reflect that in the three pieces on exhibit/”
