was a tool and die maker and a mother who was a seamstress. She grew up
in Webster, a suburb, and began writing at the age of 17. She has written 4
books of poetry, a book of short stories, numerous essays, her mother's
memoirs and volumes of journals. She has published her work in the United
Kingdom, Canada and the United States. She is currently an Administrative
Consultant at the Eastman School of Music. In 1997, while a resident of
Toronto, she began to paint, working exclusively with acrylic. As she began
to explore the medium, she started to incorporate stained glass into her
paintings. Three years later, (having moved to New Jersey) she took a course
at Princeton High School in stained glass. (She was working at Princeton
Theological Seminary at the time, and lived in nearby Plainsboro, NJ.) There,
she made her first stained glass window. In April of 2001, she had her first
solo show at the Erdman Gallery of Princeton Theological Seminary, and
immediately thereafter had a summer-long group show with Anita Shapolsky
at the Shapolsky Art Foundation in Jim Thorpe, PA. In 2002, she returned to
Webster to take up residence in her family home, after her father's death. In
July of 2003, she started her studio art company, The Alchemist of Sand, and
continues to explore painting, glass, clay and mixed media. Her business
launch at the "Clothesline Festival" of the Memorial Art Gallery of the
University of Rochester was a success, and she is currently preparing for
several upcoming exhibits. To see the current year's exhibition schedule, click
