After a long career in graphic design and illustration, I've traded pixels for paint, leaning into the quiet magic of traditional media, handmade art, and the natural world around me.
I've also spent over a decade teaching in higher education, and now share that same love of craft through workshops and online courses. Because in a world increasingly run by screens and algorithms, a little more paper, watercolor, and wonder go a long way.
Stick around for fresh paintings, one of a kind gifts, creative inspiration, and tutorials to spark your own creative journey.

I've been painting since I was little. Throughout my teenage years, I went through rigorous training in traditional media, then spent many years working in digital media, computer graphics, and design. Recently, I've found myself craving the magic of traditional media again, and made my return to watercolor and lettering.
I split my time between Connecticut and Massachusetts, but I love a good adventure! Traveling within New England is easiest for me, and I'm always open to other locations depending on the project.
I teach full time at a university, so my availability is limited. That said, I'm open to taking on a limited number of freelance and commission projects. To get started, reach out through the Contact page with your inquiry. From there, we'll chat briefly over email and schedule a meeting if needed to kick off the project.
I don't use AI in my artwork, products, or designs on this website, unless a client specifically requests it for their project. My traditional work centers on watercolor, often paired with graphite, occasional colored pencil, water-based brush pens, gold leaf gilding, and a range of watercolor and specialty papers. I photograph everything myself, with digital cleanup or editing done as needed.
You can check the exhibitions and workshops sections above for recent and upcoming events. I'm also planning to sell at fairs and festivals soon, so subscribe to my newsletter or check back here to stay in the loop!
I love nature, animals, and everyday magic, themes that run through everything I create. My lettering alphabet designs are each named after pollinators, and I try to advocate for protecting our environment through my work. I also try to live sustainably, through upcycling projects, sustainable packaging, and small everyday choices. That's where the bumble bee in my branding comes from, a little symbol of the magic I hope to share with the world.
