art FOR FOLKS WHO GET IT
Inspired by childhood in the projects
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 |

It's pretty fun to know 7 of my paintings are hanging out on set in Nathan & Ava's house. Can't wait for season 2!
Find them in the kitchen, living room, and hallway across from the bathroom (hilarious) - check out my blog post here.
