Nature and Botanicals have been my main influence throughout my art journey, which includes earning a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art. After graduating I moved to New York and started my Visual Design career at Urban Outfitters. Over those 10 years I worked as a Display Artist and then as a Merchandiser, while also freelancing as a Floral designer in my spare time. My passion for flowers pushed me to leave my corporate job and become a Floral Designer full time, working for Sprout Home and then Renny and Reed. These years in NYC helped shape the artist I am today, they honed my design skills and informed my artistic tastes. Since leaving NYC in 2015, I delved back into my painting career alongside my full time job in retail management.
I live in Rexhame on the southern coast of Massachusetts, with my partner and our daughter. They both are my toughest critics but also my biggest fans. I am kept grounded through all that life brings because of my background as a certified Hatha and Vinyasa yoga instructor, with over a decade-long meditation practice. I strive to bring this experience and its meditative and philosophical lessons into my paintings, creating artwork that evokes a combination of inquisitiveness and serenity.
