I am an artist, designer, and writer who is passionate about recycling and the environment, the use of public space, public art, and functional art. I paint used and found furniture transforming a piece of discarded furniture into colorful, whimsical, functional art. Every piece is unique and has its own personality.
Specs of Spectacle Island: A story of an island from trash to treasure, is my first children's book published in June 2021. Historical fiction for young readers, Specs of Spectacle Island is the story of Specs, a chipmunkel born and raised on Spectacle Island, and his journey during the Big Dig. Once a garbage dump for the city of Boston polluting the harbor, it tells the fascinating story of the restoration of Spectacle Island, an environmentally destructive land that is now a park and one of the Boston Harbor Islands.
