About The Artist

My earliest art lessons as a child inspired my interest in color. I became curious about painting and became an art inventor. Born out of artists and publishers, The Cherouny Press, NYC, I spent my youth at Displaycraft, Bristol, CT, a family business. My love of moving led me to skiing competitively, then mountain biking professionally, and then my invention of abstract wheel painting with my rollerblades. I enjoyed the reminiscent feeling of skiing while working the surface of a painting below my wheels. I graduated from the University of Vermont in Art Education (1991) Magna Cum Laude and went on to pursue my MFA degree, graduating from Johnson State College in 2010.
