Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, I trained as a graphic artist at The Johannesburg School of Art. After working in advertising for J.Walter Thompson, I later freelanced in Fashion Illustration for ten years. Political consciousness propelled both my husband and I to immigrate to the United States in 1973 where he continued his studies. I attended various art classes at both The Decordova Museum School and Boston University.
My studies in Printmaking, drawing and painting continued at UCLA and The Brentwood Art Center when we relocated to Los Angeles in 1978.
Working professionally since 1984 I exhibited and sold work throughout the United States as well as internationally.
I have introduced and taught new techniques of solar plate etching, Gum Arabic Lithography and other forms of non-toxic printmaking as well as Drawing, Papermaking, Mixed Media and Acrylic Painting.
