Visual Art – Boston

I have silk screened through a volunteer program at the Woman\'s Studio Workshop in Roslindale, NY and held a job for a while as an ink technician in New Hampshire. I have taken several classes at the Arlington Center For the Arts, combined with every art elective available in high school, this is the sum of any kind of formal training I can attest to. When I was finishing high school, I allowed myself to be overly concerned with the judgments and doubts of others, enough to discourage me from attempting to make my love of art a life style. I withdrew from creating artistically for close to 10 years. It has taken a good portion of my life and the support of a few incredible individuals to figure out that this is what speaks to me most, that this is a conduit for re-framing how I view the world and participate in it. There is something inherently unconditional about the experience of creating and sharing art and it is a constant source of motivation for me.
