Artist's Statement

I am an illustrator and designer based in Somerville. While I grew up in Connecticut and earned my BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design, I have been living in Somerville ever since—over a whole decade now! 

Inspired by connecting with the small moments of everyday life, my work is mostly drawn from observation. I love to illustrate every little detail that makes a place feel like home, from cool trees to messy telephone poles, so that each drawing feels like a whimsical photograph of that specific time and place. Using playful saturation and unexpected color, I seek to find the heart, joy, and nostalgia in the places and objects we look at every day.

I hope you find your favorite place in my drawings!
