There she studied under Joyce Kozloff and Timothy App. She moved back to the USA in 2014 after 3 years living in London and Bristol, UK where she became a naturalized British citizen.
Her work has been exhibited in the US and in Europe and she has taken part in artist residencies in Grimma, Germany; Cali, Colombia; and Taos, New Mexico.
