About me

My art celebrates connection: between my id and ego, myself and others, and myself and God. I tell stories by capturing moments in time and exploring what at first seems menial. I work primarily in 2D, with watercolor, oil paint, and collage.

After growing up in the lush forests of northeastern Massachusetts, I’ve relocated to Provo, Utah to study Arts Administration at Brigham Young University. Recent works include the Sitting Series, a reflection of my 2 year stint with neurologically-presenting Long-haul covid. 

What I do
Brief explanations of the different parts of my portfolio!

Portrait commissions are always open! To see my full watercolor portrait commission portfolio from 2024, see Portfolio>Portrait Commissions.

If you have an artistic vision you’d like me to bring to life outside of the traditional family/pet portraits that you see on my portfolio, please reach out and we can discuss options.

These 5 paintings were a response to my experiences with Long-haul covid and how it felt living with chronic illness. Sitting to do every day tasks, even to brush my teeth, just because I didn’t have the strength to stand. See in Portfolio>2024>Oil Paintings. 

I love watercolors for painting en plein air. Whenever I travel, whether it’s a 3 hour drive or 12 hour flight, I bring my watercolors with me. Much of my watercolor painting in the past year has been done on site in a new place that I’ve traveled. I use it as a type of journaling. Explore some of these paintings in my Portfolio tab!

As a full-time art student, I am exploring every medium I can in order to broaden my horizons. My portfolio is varied as a result, and what I still lean towards in my personal work is painting.
