b. 1968, Munich, Germany
I create large-scale, semi-abstract paintings that celebrate femininity in all its forms. I draw inspiration from my diverse experiences living and working across Western Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Now based in Alexandria, Virginia, I work from a studio within the Torpedo Factory Art Center.
Though I discovered painting in my early twenties, it was only five years ago that I started sharing my work with the public. Since then, my paintings have been featured in several group and solo exhibitions, including Intersection: Identity and Culture at Falls Church Arts (Falls Church, VA), the Local Art Show at Northside Social (Arlington, VA), and Savage Muse, an online solo exhibition presented by Hanbell Gallery (San Antonio, Texas), as part of the Culturally Arts Collective Artist-in-Residence program. I was also honored to secure First Prize in the RCWA National "By and About Women" competition for my collage titled Donna; and to have my work featured on the cover of Modern Renaissance Arts Magazine (Issue 12).
