About the Artist

Color is my happy place.

I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, and attended the Cambridge School of Weston. During high school I began developing my passion for art and appreciation for process. I graduated from Colorado College in May 2016 as an art studio major.

I have always been drawn to colors. As a child and through my adolescence I enjoyed wearing extraordinarily colorful outfits and loved trying to wear as many colors as possible. These days, I may dress slightly more tame, but my love of color has only grown. What I love about being an artist is that I am able to find beauty everywhere, whether it is finding a composition, noticing details in the world around me, or talking myself through a “recipe” for mixing a specific color.

Throughout my college career, I found myself gravitating toward painting and printmaking. My undergraduate thesis show was a culmination of the skills I learned and who I am as an artist, with process being at the heart of what I did.

I began by creating monotypes directly on the press bed, walking around the press, responding to mark making, almost in a meditative-art-dance. After sending a piece of paper through the press two to four times, I would place my work on the wall and critique it. This was the intentional, problem solving part of my process. I would think critically about what a piece needed, or what I could do to improve the composition. After making notes I would go back to the press to complete the piece.
