ARTIST Q&A

From: Uxbridge, MA
Currently lives: Boston, MA

Title of artwork: Groovy Flower Bunch

What’s it about? Oftentimes when I’m between projects, I like to switch from traditional sketch booking to working on my iPad for fun. To unwind from a long day, I’ll put a record on and lose myself in whatever drawing I’m working on — which tends to be a really busy pattern! I created this groovy flower bunch in Procreate without any planning and a limited color palette in mind. It’s the perfect way for me to relax and have fun!

Where else can we find your work? I work with a Los Angeles greeting card company called Red Cap Cards. You can find my greeting cards, wrapping papers, and gift bags at stationery shops throughout Boston! It’s always a nice little surprise seeing my work out and about!!

Where is your favorite public art piece in the area? Definitely the house painted by Jessie + Katie on Western Ave. My jaw dropped wide open when I came across that for the first time. I love to imagine how I’d have it decorated if I lived there!!

What would your last meal be? The BEST mac and cheese money can buy!!

Go-to karaoke song? Stop – Spice Girls

Favorite place for a drink in Allston? I don’t really drink — so anywhere that has strawberry milk lol!

Top fall bucket list item? Quit my job and throw a party!!
