I live in Burlington, Vermont, working in my home studio. I enjoy sharing my life with my husband, Lee Bronson, with my friends, neighbors and extended family.

I have always been both a nurturer and a creator. I have studied nursing, studio art and art therapy.

Parenthood shaped my choice of materials. Wanting to make art and be able to parent simultaneously, I focused on materials that were non-toxic and kid-friendly.

I started sculpting the human figure more as a format than a subject. I wanted a form on which I could play with surfaces and choices of materials, and through which I could play with lines, spaces, edges, intersections of shapes, and the energetic momentum created by all of these.

Beyond the pleasing, powerful experience of creating human figures, I immediately became entraced by their story-telling potential. I now love the "relationship" stories I can tell, but the formal concerns (line, form, surface, etc.) continue to delight me.

Creating images allows me to hold my own hand, and bear witness to my experience. My pieces are concrete prayers of thanks or supplication; please for comfor, understqanding or companionship. Sometimes I get to know how I'm feeling by seeing it come out in the work. the art seems to create a path of connection and understanding that often brings peace, resolution, space for contentment, growth, or acceptance, either just by looking at it, or through the people or experiences that my art brings into my life.
