Biography

I am writing a book called Gaps are my Starting Point: A GAP Encyclopedia. I’ve had two recent solo exhibitions at the Jane Haslem Gallery in Washington, D.C. (2004, 2007). I am developing a new type of large print for architectural installations. In the spring of 2004, I had a solo exhibition in the Issey Miyake boutique in conjunction with Where Fashion Meets Art, an annual collaboration between Madison Avenue fashion and art dealers. My article, “Fire/Men,” my response to 9/11, was published in Judaism, A Quarterly Journal of Jewish Life and Thought in 2002. The Library of Congress acquired the print, Fire/Men. In 2006 I acquired Textual Intercourse as a trademark for use on clothing and paper goods.

Other solo exhibitions include The Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe College in 1997; Anita Friedman Fine Arts, New York City in 1996, and Jane Haslem Gallery, Washington, DC in 1991. Group shows include "Reactions," at Exit Art in Soho in 2002, "new talent," at Signal 66 Art Space, Washington, DC in 2001, "Fifty Years of Geometric Abstraction" at Gary Snyder Fine Art, New York City in 1997 and at Lillian Heidenberg, in New York City, in 1985, 1991, and 1992. Eric Gibson, in The Washington Times in 1991, wrote that the "paintings possessed of a jewellike radiance and visual intensity." I have been in Who's Who in America and Who’s Who of American Women since 2002. In 1992, The Radcliffe Quarterly published my article, “Contrapuntal Painting.”

I graduated from Harvard College in 1973 with honors where I majored in Economics and studied painting with Flora Natapoff. I was a teaching assistant at Harvard in painting and drawing courses. I audited Philip Guston’s graduate seminar in painting at Boston University in 1973. I studied with Leo Manso and Victor Candell in 1975 at the Provincetown Workshop, heir to Hans Hoffman’s legendary school there. I have been painting and exhibiting ever since. In 1987, I started a business called Illuminated Manuscript.
