She received her MFA from the State University of NY at New Paltz in 1993, has taught since 1996 and exhibits her work internationally.
"My current work, predominantly ceramic, visually binds the human figure together with large endangered or neglected animals - typically elephants -
as if to mend the tragic results of dividedness and social greed."
Her commissioned public art brings together multiple values by incorporating community art work into her designs.
