By exploring interior landscapes, I seek to wrap my heart around the complexities of our times and induce reflection.

My art aims to convey a truth that our realities can both trap and free us, depending on our orientation. The Pulse series addresses human presence, Beats express the state of our heart, Eyes reflect the mind's lense. The Grid series focuses inquiry into the nature of cohesion. Combinations aim to influence the atmosphere of a space. Most recently, I've renewed my use of oils and am seeking to integrate all themes in previous series into a more cohesive body of work: One. My art is exhibited in the greater Boston area and is in private and corporate collections around the country.

I also work as a graphic facilitator in the field of Organizational Learning, in the past year with clients such as Dialogos, The Presencing Institute, Eileen Fisher, The Girls Scouts of Arizona, Alphachimp, The Art Connection, The Ashland Institute, and Woodlands Attunement - on aspects of presence, leadership, collective intelligence, and calling.

To connect with my local community, I volunteer for organizations that increase the visibility of art in the public sphere, including Window Arts Malden and ARTSomerville, as well as serve on the board of Somerville Open Studios.

All my efforts, in whatever form they take, are in service of surfacing latent, intuited, potential.
