I have been a resident of Westfield, MA for over twenty years. Art has always been a passion of mine, from a very early age. I graduated from high school in Belchertown, Massachusetts with a scholarship for being the selected top art student by my Honors teacher.
I then graduated with an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design from Holyoke Community College, and received the 1992 Artist's Award
Finally, I attended the University of Massachusetts for Architectural Studies, during which I interned with a focus on Commercial Interior Design at Mass Mutual Insurance. I graduated Cum Laude. I worked in architectural and design offices for nearly ten years, and also have done outside sales for a major commercial carpeting manufacturer. Afterwards, I stayed home with my small children while my husband worked as an outside salesperson, and now they are beautiful teenagers I love very much.
