Life and Art

In 1973 she graduated from the Boston University (BFA).

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century she has focused on site-specific art, responding to the history or politics of the country, engaging with the immediate landscape and materiality of the location. Sites have included a former Cold War missile base in the United States, a 15th-century Turkish bath in Macedonia, an aluminum factory in Argentina, and the site of the Spanish landing in the Philippines.[5][6]

She took part in many festivals, and performed in different cities on over the world.[7]

She was awarded the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s Maud Morgan Prize 2015. The award, a $10,000 cash prize plus an exhibition at the museum, is given every other year to a Massachusetts woman artist active for a decade or more.[8]
