Personal Statement: My body of work evolved out of the German attitude that the weight of history can only create failure, and my own bewilderment that I am not yet famous. My solution to this befuddlement is to combine my art skills with appropriation. I have come up with my own fresh take on the tradition of tableaux vivant which I adoringly allude to as “Performance Installations.”

Current Work
I create set designs of the great masters and pop culture using painted murals, paper sculptures, foam core shapes, and my own body. I place myself within the set and photograph the exact angle of the original artwork to create a complete trompe – l’oeil experience. The viewer first registers the piece as a photograph, then as a painting, then as a photograph of a painting… then as a person inside this matrix of representations.
Short Bio
I attended Smith College and I have a major in Studio Art and a minor in Women's Studies. After a year of studying color theory in the south of France I attended Brandeis University for a post-bac certificate in Painting. I recently was awarded a Masters in Art from NYU. I am an active peer within a small group of women artists that I've collected over the past 10 years.
