I have been working as a free-lance artist in New Hampshire for over twenty years. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art after attending both Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD, and Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. It was during my time in Beverly that I completed a set painting internship at North Shore Music Theater and fell in love with large scale painting. I currently offer diverse design and mural services for both residential and commercial clients. I have completed work for many of New Hampshire's top businesses including The Common Man Family of Restaurants, Portsmouth Hospital, Catholic Medical Center, Canobie Lake Park, Children's Dentistry of NH, and many others. I have also completed two public art commissions through the State of New Hampshire. I reside in New Hampshire and enjoy working out of my home studio which overlooks the Suncook River. When I am not painting or drawing, you can often find me fishing, a true passion of mine. I have created a lifestyle blog, Where Water Meets Air, which features creative writing, illustrations, art, etc. all with a fishing theme.
