There is not a lot of info about her, I found her on IG and love her work.

She was an American painter who took things from pop culture and did her abstraction to it, with rough lines. Her work is at the MOMA as well as the Whitney as well as other galleries and has also won awards.

She studied at NYSS (New York Studio School) after the second try getting in.

Most of her work is black and white she would at times add silver or gold as well as colors to her work.

Her art career took of around the age of 50.

She worked with Mercedes Matter who helped her with her work.

She would collect pop icon things for her studio.

Joan Mitchell was a mentor of hers.
