When I am not busy being the executive director of Squeaky Wheel I make documentary and experimental films and videos. In my work explores topics close to my heart, such as my mother, urban agriculture, the seven deadly sins and the craziness of e-mail. My work has shown nationally and internationally and has been awarded with First Place (NJ Super 8 Film Festival, 2003) and Third Place (Athens International Film and Video Festival, 2008) Documentary Awards, production awards from PBS stations WHYY and WYBE, and grants from the Pennsylvania and New York Councils on the Arts. Most recently I have been awarded a Fulbright senior lecture award to create a documentary about interactive artistic initiatives in the German State of Brandenburg. I live in Buffalo with my husband, daughter, and three cats.
