She received a scholarship to study in Tokyo in 1993 and returned to Japan for two years to work as an English teacher after finishing school at Troy University.  In 1998 she attended a drawing workshop with Daniel Graves in New York City which led her to pursue a classical-realist course of study at his atelier school, The Florence Academy of Art.  She currently divides her year between studios in Philadelphia, where she also teaches, and south Alabama, where she enjoys spending time with her extended family.
