Bio

I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Class of 2017 with a B.ARCH and BFA. When the pandemic struck, I finally had time to focus on myself again. The reason I went to RISD was because I wanted to be a painter and years later, it was painting again that seemed to ground me and bring me solace.
My work focuses on expressing personal reflections through thick gestural strokes and stoney backgrounds that I create using gesso and salt. I use textured backgrounds that allow colors to pop out and in turn create interesting shadows and contours within the bounds of my work.
I hope to create moments of peace with my work. I feel art should be thought provoking and allow a person mental peace almost like an escape, an escape I hope to provide with the vari-ous layers and textures that my work has to offer.Those are the feelings I hope to invoke in all my clients who will display my artwork in their spaces, a place for them to unwind, relax and lose themselves in a moment of color.
