her degree in painting from the University of California, Berkeley, has worked under
a Fulbright Memorial Fund Fellowship to study and travel in Japan. She has also received
grants from the Louisiana Division of the Arts.

Master of Fine Arts program. During her time in New Orleans, she has shown her work
in a variety of area galleries.
