For many years I owned a bookstore/gallery/live-music venue in Northwest New Jersey. I also grew up in a family owned health food store (Earth Things in Denville, N.J.) It was in this retail environment that I learned the importance of merchandise display. I saw that using ‘visual delight’ greatly increased product sales. I find this knowledge invaluable when designing for the virtual world of the internet.
I returned to college in 2003 to earn my Certification in WebSite Design. This certification, coupled with my college art studies, and my business background, has formed a fun and focused method of website design.
Officially, I studied art at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. But, art is also in my DNA. I began my
real
art studies my mother’s knee.
Growing up I learned as we sketched & painted everywhere we journeyed. Some of my fondest memories are of us picnicking and drawing the plants growing by the streams.
… she taught me to see the purples in a winter field.
I also lead Kayak and SUP EcoTour for
in New Smyrna Beach, as well as selling art and teaching art.
