A Bit About Me
Hey there! I’m an multi-media artist and educator based on Cape Cod, where I’m all about making art accessible and inspiring for everyone. My background spans from mentoring high school students through MassHire to leading figure drawing classes through The Cordial Eye. My artwork is inspired by how I perceive the world around me, as well as the world within my head. My work reflects themes of nature, self-reflection, and the human form.
I also curate monthly exhibits at Bread+Roses Cafe, finding and showcasing talented local artists, setting up receptions, and designing all the promotional fliers to make each show memorable.
Currently I am studying Fine Arts at Cape Cod Community College and have been lucky enough to receive two grants: one for a painting workshop at Castle Hill and another for a Mono Silkscreen printing course at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. I’ve had the chance to speak at women’s and girls’ event with MassHire and was honored with the Rising Star award from their Artworks program.
My studio is on Hyannis Main St. with a community of other artists and writers. If you’re looking for someone to lead a painting class (for ages 10 and up) or need help curating art for a cafe, library, or community space, I’d love to connect!

I grew up in central Massachusetts my family moved around alot so i went to a couple of schools in my youth. When i was 16 i moved to cape cod to live with my Aunts and i graduated from Barnstable Highschool. It was senior year when my teacher Abby Fay introduced me to MassHire. MassHire set me up with Sarah Holl as my mentor. Sarah and i have been working together ever since.
I currently have a studio on Hyannis Main st where i spend a lot of my time. I am set to graduate with a associates degree in fine arts but might be changing my major. I work at the Higgins Art Gallery at Cape Cod Community Collage this is my third year working there.
