I am originally from the Finger Lakes region in upstate, NY. However, my family moved to New York City when I was 10 years old—so I guess one could say I am a New Yorker.

I received my BA from Bennington College, where I majored in Lithography and Painting and my MFA from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. Additionally, I studied with Bernard Pfriem in Southern France, ultimately remaining there for two years.

I have had four solo exhibitions and over 70 group exhibitions in the United States and Southern France. I exhibit regularly at BWAC, Brooklyn, NY. 

In the early nineties, I designed and built the sets and co-produced several plays written by my husband, Evan Gubernick, for Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway venues. Additionally, I have had the honor of working as studio managers to both Nancy Graves and Chuck Close.
