BIO
I am a contemporary artist based in Worcester, MA. With a profound curiosity for the world around me, I have cultivated a unique artistic voice that merges my academic background in natural science with my passion for fine art. What I find most fascinating is that my art can communicate what words cannot.
I currently focus on watercolor and ink on paper, employing strong lines and vivid colors that define my distinctive style. As a witness to life, my creations open doors to new understandings and emotional dialogues. Right now, I am engaged in an exciting new project: writing and illustrating a children's book that reflects my imaginative storytelling and artistic flair.
Outside of my creative pursuits, I enjoy traveling to unfamiliar places and the enchanting ambiance of my home, nestled beside a magical blackberry patch where my favorite fairies reside. I share my life with my partner, Roger, as we cultivate a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and exploration.
