She holds a BFA in painting from Tulane University and a master’s in English and American Literature from Harvard’s Extension School. After drawing and painting in oil, acrylic, gouache, she now works exclusively in watercolor. “I love the magic of water and color embracing, expanding, and resolving. This timeless journey visits figures, flora, and waterscapes,” she says. “A wet brush means a good day.”
