I am a contemporary expressionistic painter currently residing and working in Albuquerque and Corrales, New Mexico. I’ve been involved in the creative process my entire life.
​
My academic explorations culminated with an MFA in Mixed Media from the Academy of Applied Arts University in Belgrade and in postgraduate studies in printmaking from the University of New Mexico. Upon moving from Europe to the USA, I pursued a long career as an Art Director/Creative Director in the specialty field of user experience and human factors design.
​

​In addition to my passion for painting, I have been a Getty Images photo contributor as well as an animal rescue photographer.

In that role, I spearheaded NGC's first adaptive learning program, which utilizes data analytics to maximize learner engagement and knowledge retention while also improving the efficacy of organizational training programs.
 
Information Designer (1989-1996)
I owned and operated a free-lance information design and consultation studio for visual design and Web development.
