Visual Arts

I began dedicating myself to the arts early in my life at Acorn Gallery School of Fine Art in Marblehead, MA. With the careful instruction and dedicated support of the instructors at Acorn Gallery, practicing oil painting and figure drawing transformed the way I thought of the world around me. I continued my artistic education pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in Painting and a certificate in Arts Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

When I graduated in 2018, I became the Events and Marketing Coordinator at Easthampton City Arts where I oversaw the galleries, organized fundraiser events, and was introduced to the world of graphic facilitation which again changed my approach to creating and collaborating with others professionally.

I continued my artistic practice by creating both independently and as an artist assistant to artists Kim Carlino and Kevin B. Huang. My personal paintings and murals have been featured as part of the Northampton City Arts Public Arts Festival, the Emerging exhibition at ReachArts, Mill Pond Live, Arts Night Out Northampton, Night Shift at MAP Gallery, and the Nahant Preservation Trust Art Gala and Auction.
