INTRO + BIO + DO




Yes! I am quite excited to be participating in the 100 days project this year! I will be splitting my summer between Vermont and Massachusetts so, as of now, I am thinking a drawing a day is a good way to go. I will be viewing the daily videos of John Timmons, I will be posting the result to this blog. All participants will be linked : here and here
Here is the bit about my background:I received a BFA from Alfred University School of Art and Design ('98), and a MFA from The School Of The Museum Of Fine Arts and Tufts University('05) I have taught at the the MFA Boston, SMFA, the Essex Art Center and the Brookline Art Center. I am also a member of the artist collective The Miracle Five. www.ratray.com
I am a collector of cast offs. I draw, paint, print, compute, build and sew.
