I studied photography and printmaking at New York University and during a study abroad program in Provence. After graduating from New York University, I worked as an assistant to a well-known fashion photographer before opening my own studio on 18th street in Manhattan. When it became clear, after a few years, that the life of a commercial photographer was not for me, I returned to the university to earn a doctorate in psychology and spent twenty years teaching and doing research work with not-for-profit organizations in New York and around the world. Though I continue to teach, I have made art making my primary focus going forward.
