Welcome

Art has always offered me an opportunity for connection. Whether it is connecting with my own creative expression by painting in my studio, connecting with others by leading art workshops, helping facilitate creative connections by consulting with schools & organizations, or supporting a client’s personal connection and self-exploration by working as an art therapist - all of my work is based on my belief that engaging in art-making is inherently therapeutic and formative.

In my own work I paint on scrap wood to highlight the often overlooked beauty that will shine through when the time is taken to shift to a new perspective. In my work with others I strive to provide “perspective-shifting” opportunities for individuals and groups to find the beauty, talent, and pride they may not yet be aware that they possess.

Artwork

My artwork includes a variety of modalities as I facilitate creative art experiences for a range of constituencies. While my own work involves painting on found wood, and Suminagashi/Zentangle mini meditations; I also lead community mural projects and community art workshops, and have engaged in various other public art creations. Stemming from the recent years of the pandemic, I launched a series of online art experiences called Translations to help others create artwork as a way to connect with others.

Current Projects

I’m in the midst of prepping multiple projects including:

• a therapeutic art workshop with children and families who have lost a parent

• a therapeutic art workshop with 100+ women focused on wellness and healing

• artist-in-residence community project with an intergenerational community in Baltimore, MD

• a new winter tour of Brighter Ignited

Recent Projects

1. Recent projects included community installations in Acton, Brookline, Needham, Lexington, Palmer, and North Chelmsford. Over 1000 participants throughout Massachusetts created artwork that is now publically installed and inspiring others.

2. Brighter Ignited, my giant, illuminated, interactive, traveling light display had a lot of fun last winter at the Seaport in Boston, Arsenal Yards in Watertown, the LexLux Festival in Lexington and at WinterFest in Newton. Now booking for this winter! Contact me if you are interested in bringing the installation to your event.

3. Still on display on Mass Ave in Lexington Center as part of Lex250’s celebration of the 250th anniversary of the revolution (and Paul Revere’s ride): I partnered with artist Emily Bhargava to create “Illumi-neigh-ted,” sharing past light and brightening the path forward. Our horse embodies the powerful glow of hope along each of our journeys and will be brightening Lexington through the upcoming 250th celebration on July 4, 2026.
