ARTIST HISTORY

"We do not remember days, we remember moments" is a quote by Cesare Pavese, an Italian poet that I love.  It reminds me to notice the tiny moments in time that make up the days of our life.  

​

Sunlight hitting an everyday object can make it go from ordinary to extraordinary and that beauty surrounding me could go unnoticed until I capture the moment.

 

I started painting at a young age and was taught and inspired by my father who worked in watercolors.  Growing up I thought I would go to school for fine arts but when I went to Massachusetts College of Art in Boston I decided to major in graphic design.  I loved the challenge of taking on projects for a client and being creative within a time frame.   Working in graphic design felt like I was taking someone's dream and making it a tangible reality.    I loved that.

 

After doing design for years, I started to miss being creative without the constraints of the pressures and deadlines of working with a client.  

 

One day I just started painting again and it felt great.  It felt like coming home.

 

I don't know where my painting will take me but I do know I just love doing it again.  I hope you enjoy exploring my site.
