The work I share here is created through a process of coaxing, amplifying, and enlivening simple, intuitively drawn base structures (a single gestural line, a messy splash of paint) into fleshy, textural, fully developed organic forms. Each piece is imagined as a single still frame in an infinite chemical process of decay and regeneration. The titles of my pieces are selected to capture the emotional content as I experience it; each operates as a single line of poetry with the potential for further development in their own right.
I am a Maine-based artist and practicing expressive arts therapist, with a BA in Psychology and Studio Art from The University of Southern Maine, and an MA in Expressive Arts Therapy from Lesley University. My love for the process of art making has driven all major life decisions, recklessly sometimes. May it always be that way.
