You could be rabbit-holing a million other places, thank you for stopping by.
I’m a visual artist from northeastern pa. My preferred medium collage. I have been a graphic designer and educator for some time. I am also proud to be listed via juried acceptance in techspressionism index list reflecting my practice. I’m also the Media and Design Education Specialist at HIP1.org since spring 2023.
Recent:
I am thrilled to share an art education initiative update from my Moravian University InFocus (’21) art event: in October 2023 both pieces were installed at the library—It is an honor to have this project displayed here and have the campus community continue to experience this project.

Fun-facts:
I love iced-coffee & cats… tomatoes-meh (unless on a sandwich — I know, it doesn’t make sense).
On downtime you will find me binge-watching Judge Judy and Dateline reruns.
Even though I love design, my “what do you want to be when you grow up” answer was lawyer.
I wrote a poem that was published in Andre Agassi’s first fan club newsletter (ca 1989)—the AKA Club (Andre Kirk Agassi) it was organized by his sister right before his Nike endorsement.
I can identify all types of needlepoint due to my first graphic design job creating packaging, catalog and pop-displays at a craft brand. The terms: cross stitch, stamped/counted cross stitch, embroidery, crewel, felt, quilting, are forever emblazoned in my lexicon (even though I cannot do this craft!).
I twirl a baton (I was a majorette in high school); I still twirl for fun — and, I am still quite good (!).
