About The Artwork

"Looking" is part of my newest series, “Motion,” where I aim to bridge the abstract with the familiar, mixing the innate connotations of colors with the geometry of my world. Here I am exploring the concept of inertia and how that relates to ADHD. I take the phrase “an object in motion stays in motion” another step to say “a body in motion stays in motion." People with ADHD can have a difficult time transitioning between tasks, which can be mistaken for “laziness”. For example, if I’m sitting eating breakfast and know I have to get up to get ready to work, a lot of the time I just can’t. I know I need to, and I even WANT to get up. But my body won't. My “Motion” series aims to reflect the duality of my mind moving while my body stays where it is and yearns to move forward.

I am a Boston-born and -based abstract artist whose work is an exploration of geometry, color theory, and mental health. My kaleidoscope paintings articulate the chaos, anxiety, and depression that stem from my ADHD and, in depicting how my brain feels and functions, challenge the misconceptions that people attach to this neurological disorder and mental illnesses in general. When randomly starting new centers of the kaleidoscope, I intentionally break the ordered geometric pattern I have so meticulously created, provoking the viewer to question what they are seeing and not seeing amongst the smudged lines. Each piece explores contrast between the background and the lines themselves, demonstrating a complexity of vision, emotion, and experience. My style continues to evolve with my evolving understanding of myself. Beginning with the addition of filling in the shapes of the kaleidoscopes with color in her Emergent Series, I explore the concept of finding peace amongst the chaos, of art as remedy. My Horizon Lines style, which breaks down nature into its core colors and explores the vast range of hues between them, marks a continued study of meditation, even nostalgia. In my newest series, “Motion,” I aim to bridge the abstract with the familiar as I combine both of my usual styles, mixing the innate connotations of colors with the geometry of my world.
