Art That Sparks Wow!

I am a dedicated ceramic artist and Vice President at Lowell Makes. I just moved to the area so I can be closer to Western Ave as I spend so much time here. My intent in applying to Western Avenue Studios is to utilize a working space, become more involved in the community and events at WAS and strengthen the working relationship between WAS and Lowell Makes where applicable.

I am interested in networking with other creatives of all media, hosting classes, and participating in WAS open studios & events, driving community engagement and doing my part to enrich Lowell through the arts. Longer term, I am looking to take this on full-time and increase my formal education in art.
