Very happy to share that one of my pieces was selected for the Main Street Banner Project by the Northampton Center for the Arts! Thanks for the recognition! Details to come!

I Haven't had the energy to do my own art for quite some time...but I recently discovered that my oil pastels were water soluble and I had never tried it out...so here's a little, experimental piece with color for fun.

We had a really excellent time learning about and being inspired by contemporary artist Bisa Butler. I have amassed a happy and experimental following and I am so grateful to provide them a creative space to express and play.

Featured are highlights from the Mixed Media Play class I instructed at the Northampton Center for the Arts this past February. We experimented with a new art medium each week. Liquid Watercolor paints, acrylic paint markers, mod podge collage and a variety of drawing tools.

I am instructing a Mixed Media Play class at the Northampton Center for the Arts. The goal is for participants to experiment with a variety of media without having to invest a lot of funds. So far, we have tried out liquid watercolor paints. Next week, we will play with acrylic paint markers! Fun!

With the help from a grant from the Northampton Arts Council, I have been able to schedule a bunch of upcoming classes at the Northampton Senior Center.

For our last session, I asked participants to draw something they see in a photo or in front of them. They found it challenging but I watched them grow as artists. This program is supported by a grant from the Northampton Arts Council.

I eat lunch in my car at one job and in a locked closet at another because those are the only spaces where I feel safe from germs. Another bug is going around at work....funny, the only one who masks (me) is the only one not getting sick. #wearamask

One of my pieces was recently published in the Meat for Tea's quarterly issue featuring local writers and artists of the Pioneer Valley. Grateful to be included!

A smattering of projects from my 4th-7th graders...

I'm not in love with any of these photos, maybe I'll get a better one on a cloudy day. Anyway, this is an organic assemblage piece I repainted to be in a different color palette.
