I grew up in New Jersey and come from a long line of female artists on my maternal side and am the daughter of a pastor. Spiritual inquiry and illustrating are the core of who I am. After getting my BFA I moved to NYC in the late 90’s. I landed in Bedford-Stuyvesant and then in Clinton Hill, where I met my friend Marge. Soon after becoming her tenant, I met my husband Augie. He emigrated to the US from Italy, as a child, and grew up in Brooklyn.

Through falling in love and creating a family we've grown passionate about our Brooklyn community, including social and economic justice. We have three wonderful kids and feel blessed to call NYC our home. 

Finally, I'm also the illustrator behind Rainbobo – jewelry made in love. Rainbobo's pieces are talismans and exist to supercharge your path and encourage you toward your goals, dreams and aspirations.

Please give me a call to hear my pre-recorded message, where I hope to answer most of your questions. If that doesn’t cover it, please feel free to text or email me and I’ll get back to you personally.

Reflections
I’m committed to continuing the expansion of my own consciousness and supporting organizations that are ameliorating worldwide unconsciousness:

Equal Justice Initiative
Showing Up for Racial Justice
National Bailout
Cultural Survival
Fair Fight
PFLAG NYC
Survival International
Color of Change
National Center for Lesbian Rights
Vocal NY
The Marsha P. Johnson Institute

Land Acknowledgement
The land I inhabit, Brooklyn, New York City, is an established community of the Munsee Lenape peoples, well before the first contact of my ancestors, the Puritans, who created the United States of America.
