By exploring interior landscapes, I seek to wrap my heart around the complexities of our times and induce reflection. All my efforts, in whatever form they take, are in service of surfacing latent, intuited, potential. I primarily work as a graphic facilitator, supporting group reflection around themes such as sustainability, leadership, innovatiion, and creativity. Recent clients include the Presencing Institute, United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, The Value Web with The World Economic Forum, Youth 4 Change, Neighboring Food Cooperative Association, Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger, Mass Ocean Partnership, and MIT's Executive Education. Additional clients have included The Somerville Arts Council, The Girls Scouts of Arizona, The Ashland Institute, and Woodlands Attunement, BP, CapGemini, Eileen Fisher, and Harvard's School of Government. MORE HERE My art, a cornerstone of staying true to source, aims to convey how our perceptions can both inhibit and free us, depending on our orientation. I approach drawing and painting in a series format, producing pieces that sit together as a litter or individually. Each series usually addresses a current personal inquiry, ranging from the blossoming of human presence to the state of a heart to the nature of cohesion to the choices around moving towards or away from others. My art is exhibited in the greater Boston area and is in private and corporate collections around the country. |
