About
I'm a Brooklyn-based artist, educator, and designer whose practice spans painting, drawing, ceramics, calligraphy, and community-based art. While these disciplines may seem distinct, they all grow from the same place: a fascination with observation, transformation, and the expressive potential of the handmade mark.
After earning a B.A. in Fine Arts from Pitzer College in California, I worked in community public art, taught art in Los Angeles schools, and instructed ceramics at the Braille Institute before moving to New York to complete an M.A. in Art Education at New York University.
For more than twenty years I have developed arts education programs for museums, schools, and cultural organizations, including the Museum of Arts and Design, Lincoln Center Education, the Salvadori Center, the Society of Illustrators/Museum of Illustration, and The Newark Museum. My work has included curriculum development, artist residencies, teacher professional learning, public programming, and partnerships serving audiences from young children to educators, families, hospital patients, and incarcerated youth. I also spent several years living in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I developed educational materials and programming for exhibitions and public art projects.
Alongside my studio practice, I founded Ketubah Graphia, where I create contemporary hand-lettered Jewish ritual art for clients around the world. Whether I am painting, lettering, teaching, or making sculpture, I remain interested in the same question: how careful attention can transform the way we experience the world.
