A lawyer, artist, performer and mother, I have been drawing
and painting for as long as I can remember. When my first
daughter was born in 1991, I decided to finally become a career
artist. I began by painting murals on walls, and soon started
my own decorative painting business. Together with my partner,
Mary Kay Markowitz, I have created unique decorative finishes
on the walls of scores of homes in New York metropolitan area.
In 1994, I manufactured my own line of greeting cards and
took them to the New York Stationary Show. This led to a freelance
illustration relationship with Recycled Paper Greetings. Since
then, my work has appeared on everything from greeting cards
to posters to textiles. In addition to a long list of commercial
clients, my work has appeared in a number of juried shows
in Northern New Jersey. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s
Nan Rosenthal once described one of my flower portraits as
“frankly beautiful without being sentimental.”
In the spring of 2003, my business grew substantially after the Surface and Textile Design Show at the New York Javit’s Center. Together with my rep, Laurie High of Creative Connection, I have expanded my design capabilities to include three-dimensional objects such as tableware. With my ability to design and paint in a whimsical commercial style, as well as in a classical style, combined with my proficiency in PhotoShop, I am truly ”one artist for all your design needs”
