I have been working as an artist, and teaching art, for most of my adult life.  I enjoyed a wonderfully satisfying career as a teacher/artist. During that time I  showed my work regularly  throughout Long Island. I retired from teaching as an advanced drawing and painting instructor, on the high school level, in January 2005.  I am  currently a faculty member at the Art League of Long Island in Dix Hills where I teach workshops in fused glass. I present glass workshops in school districts throughout Long Island through the BOCES Arts-In-Education program. I have been a member of the Long Island Craft Guild for 22 years and currently am media chair of  the “Glass” group. I am an active member at the Phoenix Gallery in Bellport, New York and Women Sharing Art organization.

My media of choice is glass: both stained and fused. I have also enjoyed drawing and include this medium in works that I present to galleries. For a period of about 7 years, I concentrated with the forms of ponies and carousel motifs in my fused glass designs. Although I am continually moving into new concentrations, I have a persistent fondness for the “carousel series”. They are whimsical, joyful, and include in them a playfulness that I do not carry through to my other works.

I also present imagery that depicts my  life issues. The content is passionate and personal.  As with life, my beliefs may change but they are crystallized in the art representing them at the moment of their creation.
