She holds a B.F.A. from Syracuse University and an M.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, where she received the Charles Addams Memorial Prize.

Her research focuses on visual perception and the philosophical dimensions of art, creating works that challenge viewers to interpret personal memories through abstract landscapes and luminous color fields. Major exhibitions include the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and the Martin Museum of Art at Baylor University, with collections held by institutions like Houston Airports and Lankenau Hospital.
Recent works emphasize vibrant abstract landscapes that blend natural elements with symbolic abstraction, as seen in her 2024 series exploring fluid dynamics and light interactions. The 2023 Shimmering series exemplifies her interest in transient phenomena like sunrise and rainfall.

As a mentor, she coordinates the graduate program and has advised students through her studio practice. Her work is represented by Edgewater Gallery and documented in Perennial Earth, a book pairing her paintings with Wallace Stevens' poetry.
Her art often integrates literary references, as seen in Haiku (2023), which translates poetic structure into visual abstraction. Technical innovations include experimental oil techniques and luminous watercolor compositions.
