Born in Colorado to a family in the theatre arts, van Wolf excelled in the arts and sciences. Her first solo exhibition was in Sherman, Connecticut in 1985. Her art was placed in the centennial time capsule and profiled in numerous group exhibitions.
In 1992 while writing and illustrating for the Telluride Times Journal she produced her first body of work; abstract figurative studies on a large scale. She exhibited locally and traveled through New Zealand, England and Ireland engaged in further self-study. Her reverence for the Dutch and Italian renaissance artists then led her to Europe to discover their source of inspiration directly. Much of the later work is based on these travel writings.
In 1997 she moved to New York City engineered software for JPMorgan and working in film, television and theatre to fund her continuing studies in the arts. She dedicated her focus to fine art and joined the Opera Gallery in New York and Miami.
