This ABOUT ME page moves away from the traditional artist CV.
Instead traces a working chronology through studios, environments, and lived periods.
The studio spaces become the structure through which sculpture, ideas, friends, family, and artistic practice evolve, each carrying its own story.
Long before formal training, the need for a room of one’s own had already begun. When I had children, I was determined not to become one of those women artists who stopped making art.
Curiously, it was my children who gave me the day-to-day structure I needed to continue working.
They kept me grounded.
This archive is deliberately not about career advancement. It is about continuity of making across changing conditions.

During the SUNY Binghamton years, sculpture, drawing, music, and family life occupied the same small rooms. Because my son practiced violin in the middle of the studio, I would drew him.

The Precision Sharpening Shop became another temporary workspace. My daughter covered her ears when the grinder started while my son waited by the door.

Winter work continued in a partially heated barn studio where larger figurative sculptures first began to emerge.

The Alameda years moved between a industrial space, teaching, and abstract assembled figurative work with pastel drawings on old window-shades. Finished works often migrated back home when the studio became too crowded.

Finding the marina space in Alameda at the Boat-Yard gave me the ability to work larger than life.

Fort Bidwell's high desert location develops a conversation with material, open space, seasonal light for a new kind of sculptural energy.

The Fairfax studio became a long-term working environment where sculpture, drawing, found materials, and open studio conversations accumulated over decades.
