BIO
I was born in Asbury Park , New Jersey . When I was a child I had painting lessons with my mother ’ s talented Hungarian friend , Magda , a beautiful eccentric artist and terrific cook . To this day , garlic and turpentine remain two of my favorite scents .
I received my BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston , ( SMFA ) majoring in Printmaking and Art History . I later moved to San Francisco where I started working as a graphic designer , then relocated to Los Angeles . I continue to do graphic design and teach art to children ages 6 - 16 , run workshops on encaustic painting to adults and schedule painting parties for adults and children .
