Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, she studied at Smith College and the University of Michigan. She then spent more than a year at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing on a Fulbright grant to study lithography. Her current art practice is based at Crane Arts and Second State Press in Philadelphia. She is Assistant Professor of printmaking at Muhlenberg College.
