small + original + paintings
About 25 years ago I left my job as a graphic designer in Boston and moved to Vermont with my architect/builder husband. Together, we renovated an 80’s ranch on 10 acres in a small rural community where we lived and worked, and had our son. It was at that point in my life that painting went from being an outlet and pastime, to a full-time occupation. I truly loved being a part of the local Vermont art community! When our son was two, our family of three returned to Massachusetts to be closer to family, and job opportunities for an architect. It was shortly thereafter that I opened my shop on Etsy. Painting large scale quickly proved to no longer be a practical option for me in our apartment. It was primarily for that reason that I eventually made the switch to working small. I found that I not only loved the format, but also the opportunity to offer affordable, and original paintings. I have been working this way ever since. The artists & shop owners I have connected with since the very early days of Etsy, now feel like my friends and co-workers and continue to inspire me every day.
Thank you for visiting my shop! :)
