ARTISTS’ STATEMENT

I am inspired by color, henna tattoos, Moroccan Zillij tile work, mandalas, and patterns of all kinds. There’s nothing particularly deep or “artsy” about my work, except what an individual might find for themselves. My eyes are simply drawn to pattern and color and I can’t help bringing more of both into the world.

I am a self-taught artist living in Lebanon, NH. Although I’ve been doodling, crafting, and dabbling in art since I could first hold a crayon, I didn’t start to show my work publicly until I applied to paint, of all things, a giant 4 foot tall fiberglass pig as part of Hanover, New Hampshire’s 250th Anniversary celebration in 2011. I parlayed the momentum, recognition, and praise from that piece into confidence to try and show my other pieces. The rest, as they say, is history.

When not painting I am a personal trainer at the River Valley Club in Lebanon, NH. I am involved behind the scenes and backstage with North Country Community Theatre (NCCT).
