I am an abstract painter who maintains an active home studio in Melrose. My experience includes jewelry design, custom decorative painting and years of art instruction to children and adults.

When I begin a painting I try not to have a preconceived idea but instead trust the process and allow my intuition and sense of color guide me.I use many materials including plaster, acrylic paint, metallic paint, mark making, graphite and hand painted papers for collage. The result allows the viewer to linger and create their own narrative. Having the final surface be interesting and multi-layered becomes a key goal. Representation is in the Southwest and the North shore of Boston.

I am actively involved with the local non profit Melrose Arts and sit on the Board of the Community Coalition of Melrose.
