Do you believe in making resolutions as we leave one year and enter another? For a long time, starting in my adolescence and into adulthood, I thought making resolutions was necessary if I wanted to be successful. But, a few years ago I started a practice that changed my thinking around the ways we truly are able to look forward, learn, achieve, evolve, and become the best versions of ourselves.
My First Artist Residency...in Italy!
This summer I was lucky enough to attend my first artist residency. High on a hill above the ancient Valle Camonica in the town of Cividate Camuno in Lombardy, surrounded by the majestic embrace of the Italian Alps, stands RUC. This mystical place is an ancestral home where artists from all over the world come to work in and be inspired by nature and history.
Celebrating my 6th Year Studio Anniversary
Reflecting on a New Season
It’s nearly summer and here in the lower Hudson Valley where I work there is definitely a shift in energy as I personally start to shed some of the physical and emotional layers of the last year. Even if it looks different I sense a fresh, rejuvenating spirit that recalls the energy of life at the onset of the new season.
About Me and My Work - A view into my practice as an Artist
My art practice denotes freedom and unapologetic honesty. My artwork explores a variety of general themes in my personal narrative. As an artist, I study the concept of excavation and discovery and I explore consistent themes of change and evolution using various mediums including oil paint, acrylic paint, oil stick, ink, house paint, gesso and pastels.
