I’m a mixed media artist, splitting time between Rhode Island and Florida (soon to be mainly be living in RI), using photography, graphic design, printing, and acrylic resin. Waves, coastal towns, typography, and sailing are steady themes throughout my artwork. At the core of my artistic expression is escapism. I want viewers to lose themselves in my world where vivid colors, striking graphics, and coastal tranquility converge.
I’m GenX and my work reflects my childhood influenced by MTV, 80's ad aesthetics and lots of time outside. Resin is the newest addition to my creative tool kit. I’m loving learning how to design my work to include it’s amazing candy colored shapes and organic edges.
Current work in progress: sculpting with resin. Looking forward, I'd like to create bigger art pieces. Currently my standard is 30x40 inches, hopefully this will be my "small" at some point. If there is a statement, an opinion, that my art offers, it's this: choose happiness. Life sucks sometimes, but I find my escape in art, and actively choose to smile, and create more happy, energetic art to put out into the world. I hope you feel this too when you interact with my work, and choose you add your smile to the world, too.
