I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I received my B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College where I focused on studio art. After graduation, I moved to rural Maine with my husband, James O’Neil. We raised our family and I maintained a glass studio there for close to thirty years. I now live and work in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I always knew I wanted to be an artist. I gravitated towards glass because it is such a beautiful material and works with light. Over the years I’ve developed a variety of ways to introduce pattern, text and imagery and my pieces evolved into what is essentially research-based collage made out of glass. Every piece is unique.

My projects are in private homes, businesses, public schools, colleges and universities, hospitals, government buildings, libraries, religious institutions, airports and other kinds of transit facilities, and more. I produce work in my own studio and with fabricators. I’ve been doing this kind of work most of my adult life, with commissions throughout the United States. I like to work closely with my clients, so that the final project is just what they are hoping for.

I want my work to be complex and intriguing, as well as beautiful, and to hold peoples' interest over time.
