She exhibits throughout Connecticut, New York, and beyond. She has a studio in Erector Square where her grandma and her sisters worked during WWII.
Her art practice has been focused on a nonobjective exploration of color and color relationships, allowing the process of mixing pigments to dictate the color boundaries and color relationships within her paintings. She is also interested in how pigments act differently based on age, manufacturer, and the mediums she uses.
