I am a professional artist, figure model, and community arts instructor with a passion for making art making accessible to all, including underserved communities. I lead workshops that break down my artistic process of creating multi-layered "collage paintings" whilst encouraging individual breakthroughs, collaboration, and brainstorming in the workspace. I am skilled in leading workshops that cover techniques in watercolor, acrylic painting, printmaking, and mixed media collage and can cater to groups of any age or ability. As a figure model I have worked in colleges and local figure drawing groups throughout Western Massachusetts, the Berkshires, and Vermont.
