Painter, educator, and outdoor explorer based in Burlington, MA.
When I’m not teaching special education to my favorite middle school scholars and students, my love of hiking and illustration keeps me on the trail and making art in the outdoors. I’ve partnered with local and national outdoor organizations to organize art-making experiences on local trails. I’ve also lectured on the importance and value of creative experiences from city to trail at a variety of venues, including the REI “Force of Nature” Women’s Speaker series and at Harvard University.
My love of painting in the outdoors has taken me to the tops of mountains as the Artist in Residence for the National Park Service in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 2018, at Gould Farm Rehabilitation Center in Monterey, MA in 2021, and the Rensing Center in Pickens, SC in 2021.
This year also brought my first corporate art collaboration with a beloved brand, Merrell Outdoor Gear and Footwear, as well as my illustrations and writings appearing in two nation-wide print publications.
Please contact me directly for illustration projects, collaborations, or to inquire about purchasing my work. I can’t wait to hear from you!
