Bring Peace & Beauty Into Your Life Through Fine Art Watercolor
I believe beauty is all around us. In ordinary places and in ordinary things. We only need to pause for a moment and become mindful of our surroundings. This is the goal of my work. To reflect on the beauty that surrounds you and to give you eyes to see.
The world has a way of pressing in on us. And we tend to feel the weight of our daily struggles longer than we should. The stress of these burdens deteriorates our sense of peace and well being. Fine art restores the balance.
When I paint, I get a profound feeling of peace, even if it's just for a moment, and I long to impart that feeling to you. My goal has always been to share the happiness and contentment I experience with you through watercolor.
Painting plein-air is my joy, and watercolor is my favorite medium. When I’m not painting outdoors, I’m working as a full-time commissioned painter and watercolor Instructor for various institutions such as the Farmington Valley Arts Center and the Southington Community Cultural Arts Center.
My work has been included in both local, and national juried completions; most notably as part of the Society of Illustrators Student Competition in New York City. My paintings can be found in numerous collections throughout the US and worldwide.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Hartford Art School and furthered my exploration of painting and education during a residency at the Farmington Valley Arts Center in 2018. I’m passionate about bringing art to the community and I’m currently an active board member at the Art League of New Britain and a member of the Connecticut Plein Air Society.
