I grew up in the Bronx, NY, and still consider myself a Bronx girl while living in the Boston area for the past 30+ years. I received a BA from Wellesley College and an MFA from the University of Iowa. I’ve participated in artist residencies at the Center for Contemporary Art (Norwalk, CT), the Lower East Side Print Shop (New York, NY), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson VT), Pickwick Press (Portland, ME), Grafikwerkstatt (Dresden, Germany), and most recently at Hello Print Friend (Chiang Mai, Thailand). I have taught in various colleges and universities around the Boston area and am currently Chair of Visual Arts at Milton Academy.

Artist Statement

I’m a printmaker working mainly in lithography, relief, and screenprinting, but I’m also drawn to the spaces between these media—drawing, watercolor, and artist books. My work often centers on the body: the physical space it occupies and the metaphorical space it represents. I draw from memory and personal stories, and much of my practice is self-reflective, incorporating self-portraits and photographs. I think of self-portraits as a conversation between my past, present, and future selves, especially as I navigate the world as a Black queer woman. 

Printmaking has always felt essential to my process. Its rhythm—of reflection, repetition, and reimagining—mirrors the way I think about identity and time. I’m drawn to print’s democratic nature too: how printed matter can circulate widely, carry stories, and give voice to people who are often left out of the narrative.
