My art practice explores the psychological landscape of motherhood and caregiving, with an emphasis on unseen and undervalued labor. In this piece I rendered a grandmother and her grandchild. Through this work I honor and give presence to grandmothers, mothers and childcare workers whose daily labor is too often ignored or overlooked.
BIO
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, I teach and create art just outside Washington, D.C. I earned a bachelor’s degree with dual majors in Painting and Art History from the University of Virginia in 1996. After a brief career as a web designer for The Washington Post, I earned a master’s degree in Education from The George Washington University in 2001 and a master’s degree in Fine Art from George Mason University in 2021. For the past 24 years, I have been an art educator at the high school level in Fairfax, Virginia. I currently teach Painting, Drawing, and Digital Photography at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.
