Art

I’m excited for my fourth year teaching art at the Butler, where students explore creativity through the Studio Habits of Mind. Before this, I was a museum educator at the Smithsonian and in Baltimore. Outside school, I create artwork focused on bookmaking, embroidery, and printmaking. I love Lowell’s arts scene and encourage everyone to enjoy and make art!

This is my Fourth year in Lowell and second at the Butler. I earned my degree from Springfield College in 2000, and completed my Master’s at Salem State in 2008.
