[Bio]

As a visual artist drawn to experimentation, I invite serendipity in my practice and explore diverse mediums and subjects, which include the ephemeral (butterfly series), stolen moments (documentary work), play, timelessness, the enduring, and significance of matter.

Selected exhibitions: Double Helix (40” x 60”) was included at Sotheby’s New York (2022) auction Contemporary Discoveries preview show; Time Gallery, New York - aka Sojourner (2022) - duo exhibition; Phyllis Harriman Gallery (2022, 2020) - Art Student League group shows; CADAF online art fair (2020) group show; Gallery122 (2018) New York pop-up group show; Curate NY (2013) online group show; Paris Photo (2010), Photos, Femmes, Feminisme group show.

My art and photography is in private and public collections, with a series of portraits of women writers at the Bibliothèque Nationale and Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand in Paris, France.

Award-winning projects include You Will Never Beat New York (2020) an experimental video shot on a smartphone that I made during the pandemic as a love letter to New York City. The work received 14 laurels from independent film festivals worldwide (2020-2021). Print’s Regional Design Annual New York 2003 awarded my cover art (photography) for the book jacket If Wishes Were Horses (Merry Whiteford).

In 1997 Macmillan published City Riders: A Story of Riding and Friendship my first book with black-and-white photographs and text about three teenage girls in the 1990s who rode horses at the now defunct Claremont Riding Academy and oldest stable in New York City.

My artistic and editorial practice began while a student in Paris, France in the late 1980s. I exhibited in public spaces black-and-white photographs of women writers. I contributed photography and features to publications, including a column for The Saturday Review, followed by freelance editorial work in American Girl, Le Monde, Jeune Afrique, Paris Match, L’Officiel Femme, Ms., Weltwoche, Vanguardia, etc. My commercial photography and creative images were licensed through stock agencies Nonstock, Jupiter, and Getty for cover art, including: W.W. Norton, St. Martin’s Press, Harcourt, Bookspan, Simon & Schuster, among others.
