Visual Art – Boston

I am a Boston-based artist, originally from the wilds of Western Mass. I primarily work with oils, but also enjoy watercolours, block-printing, and fiber arts. When I work with oils, I am reminded that life is ever-changing--that accidents may happen, and that when they do we need to work with them rather than against them. The landscapes I create are often a representation of an emotion or idea, rather than an exact representation of my surroundings. I use colors, textures, and perspectives that are more in tune with the way I feel about the world than with the way the world “truly looks.”
