Immersive Drawing Experience

Workshop for small groups, teams, and corporate settings exploring NeuroArts, focus, and flow.
Immersive Drawing Experience is designed to be “Yoga for your mind.” In this culture of the “Short Form,” we invite you to elongate your focus, quiet your mind, engage active meditation. Practice focus and get into the flow.

This community-building workshop provides a serene and creative environment for exploring the benefits of deep concentration and mindfulness.

Participants are seated in a dimly lit room, where the only light comes from a projected image. The image can be a mandala, original artwork or something commisioned for the event.They group will then trace the image with black pens onto either canvas or paper. Final artwork size is 4x8feet. 

Soundscape: Live singing bowls alongside a soundscape of Gregorian chants, Om Namo Bhagavate mantra, and vibrational flow music. A soundscape to deepen the relaxation and heightened focus. Clients have been community groups, companies, team building expercise, the experience is flexible to work with different groups. Email for more information.

Exhibits
In 2021, Showcased short films from ArtSpace Artists in the corner window exhibit at UFO Gallery, Maynard, providing a unique platform for local talent. The following year, 2022, NYC video artist Stephanie Beattie presented "Web Portal," a site-specific durational video exhibit in Naylor Court, Maynard, MA. This exhibit explored the architecture of information, using local programing visuals from the town’s high tech days of DIGITAL.

In 2023, designed an immersive environment based on architectural renderings for a proposed new park in a small mill town. In collaboration with the architect, this exhibit featured a public charrette that allowed visitors to "experience" walking through Triangle Park. This particular interactive experience engage the community in the developmental process and enhance the dialogue between architect and the public, fostering richer community feedback on public spaces.

ARTMAIL WORKSHOPS 

ArtMail Workshops: Cultivating Creativity, Connection, and Mental Well-being Email for more information

Since 2007, I have practiced ArtMail, creating and sending over 3,000 handmade postcards to friends, family, and patrons. This evolved into a subscription service, producing an average of 25 original pieces each month for over a decade. ArtMail has been a cornerstone of my creative journey, fostering a unique, tangible connection with my community. Now, I am excited to resume and share this enriching experience through a series of workshops focused on the mental health benefits of connections using ArtMail.


American Bones

︎︎︎ 2011-2018
︎︎︎ Successful Kickstarter grant 6k
︎︎︎ 5 month roadtrip three residencies
Exploring the infrastructure of America's cultural narrative. Distilling aspects of iconic identity and creating a visual commentary of the mashup that forms the bone structure of America. From architecture, landscapes, and portraits to the commoditization of memory that is the souvenir, the work explores the essential forces that form identity. A catalog of photos,films, paintings and street art came out of the 7 year project. The work is in the process of being created into an multi chanel installation for 2027.


Compost Corral,
Pandemic Project 

︎︎︎ May 2020-Sept-2020
︎︎︎ The Compost Corral. A land-based social practice

The Compost Corral reclaims the overlooked, transforming a neglected accumulation of dirt, debris, and organic matter into an act of ecological care made visible. Working exclusively with found and harvested materials, the intervention relocates and reframes the compost pile as both functional infrastructure and sculptural presence.

At the heart of the work is English ivy (Hedera helix), an invasive species whose removal liberates the surrounding trees while yielding a surprisingly generous material: thick, sinuous, ornately twisted vines with a natural pliability suited to weaving and construction. Rather than discarding what was extracted, the ivy is repurposed, woven into a corral that encircles the compost.

Gardens have long been the subject of composition and aesthetics.  Tending to a stage for its compost turns the eye to site stewardship, and the beauty latent in processes we typically hide. Decomposition.
