I have been so fortunate to be able to combine my favorite pastimes into a dual career as a book illustrator and a painter. Doing both satisfies my desire to be a visual storyteller and to explore and interpret the visual world around me. Although I spend a lot of time in the studio working on illustration assignments, I do manage to get out one or two days a week to paint outside on location (en plein air) with my fellow painters as we travel around New England.I grew up in the Boston area, the only girl with four brothers (which may explain why I spent so much time in my room, painting and reading).I attended Marymount College in Tarrytown NY and graduated with a BA in art.. After college I started work as a staff illustrator for Educational Directions Inc., in Westport, CT,an educational filmstrip company, and illustrated filmstrips of folk lore and fairy tales. After a few years, I moved to Newburyport MA where I started a career as a freelance illustrator and where I now have my home and studio.I live here with my husband, Jay and I am the mother of three wonderful daughters.Over the years I have been involved with the Newburyport Art Association as a board member, instructor, and at one time, interim director. As the board chair of the Education Program, we have been successful in implementing"The Budding Artist Exhibit" an annual art exhibit for area middle school and high school students.I have had many one person and group exhibitions throughout the North Shore MA area. I have been accepted into juried exhibitions at the Copley Society of Art in Boston, and in juried exhibitions at Gallery Seven Gallery in Maynard MA. I am a member of "The Newburyport Ten Plein Air Painters", the "Women inthe Wild" painters, and the Newburyport Art Association. I currently have work at Gallery 54, 54 State St. Newburyport, MA, the Gift Shop at the Newburyport Art Association and in my own studio gallery, "The Sunlight Studio" in Newburyport.
