ARTIST Q&A
Born: Swampscott, MA
Currently lives: Worcester, MA
Title of artwork: Sippin’ Ale
What’s it about? Originally painted for a group show in 2018, I digitized this piece as an exercise to translate my more traditional hand painted style to the bold, graphic language of digital media. No brush marks remain but hopefully the touch of the hand is still present.
