A diverse education helped form the (lovingly) artistic monster I have become. Starting at Montessori helped formulate an artistic mind. My parents are both professors of English at Fairleigh Dickinson University. They, my 3 older sisters and the circle of artists, philosophers and literary friends that surrounded me growing up influenced my choice in pursuing art and understanding it.
My degree is in English, Fine Art and Acting from Drew University, although I went through several colleges to finish my degree in four years. I also took workshops post college for many years at The School of Visual Arts in painting, illustration jewelry and design. Nancy Chunn was a huge help and support there.
