About

My Background

My formal background is Fine Art Design with a concentration in metals that began when I was barely a teenager. After 18 years of tangible experience, I transitioned into textiles, spinning and knitting yarn. Most recently, I have been revisiting 2-dimensional processes, such as painting.

Visual Communication

After years of intensive studio concentration, followed by a few years of bounding across the North American continent, I returned to Central Maine with plenty of time for thought and retrospection. Amidst such, the realization that though definitely literate while lacking lingual exercise, after my years of in-studio practice, recognizing visual and verbal communications are vastly distinct, yet both potentially influential.

Sharing Stories

I recall an evening in New York, at a party, looking out window. A quiet moment. Looking at all the concrete and brick, and suddenly getting very overwhelmed by it all. No, I actually was not intoxicated. Everything, everything, was produced and brick and stone. None of it nature, or flowers, or trees. It occurred to me the importance of the Arts and Fashion in the city especially-that's the closest a person is going to get to raw nature.
