art FOR FOLKS WHO GET IT
abstraction
I'm all about it.
The rawness of it. The spontaneity of it.
The openness and freedom that come along with letting go. In this limitless space, I don't have to be uptight and overthink or control. In fact, it's the one place I drop my shoulders to just be. With all my questions and worries, frustration, and tears. Nothing is off limits. Everything is welcomed, encouraged, and used.
These are smudges of my honesty and guts.
Each scrape and smoosh a release. Like finding an exhale.
Helpful and cathartic for an ever-pinging mind.
May you find your own curiosities through my explorations of freedom and self-trust.

Coming Home. Gritty and hopeful.
Back to my rootsAs a kid in the projects of South Boston, I was surrounded by concrete, busted brick, exposed rebar, and chainlink fences.
I loved walking to the train station and seeing ripped stickers on light poles. Or bubble gum wads smacked on the peeling paint of metal newspaper stands. Corroded and jacked. It was my urban wonderland. Pops of color banging out from neutral landscapes of the hard, squared-off city. Gritty. Especially in rain. But also organic and geometric. Messy and muted. It was home. These are the street textures that still light me up. They show up in my marks and in my mood. Tough, but not too serious. Playful and real; like an honest laugh through the struggle. Accepting, hopeful, spontaneous; open to learning and adjusting to whatever comes. Filled with wonder and fortitude. As am I. A full-force Southie ginger. Scrappy and growing each day. Processing my head. Smooshing paint with my heart. I hope you connect here. xo
