My Background

I am a 2012 graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design where I received my bachelors degree in Art Education. Since graduation my life as a professional artist has been based on Martha's Vineyard where I have owned and operated Jazen's Art Studio since 2013. I teach art parties, face paint, design custom artwork, create my own custom jewelry, have designed a regional product line, create custom logos for clients, and more!

My Medium

My Inspiration

My Background

In my personal art practice, I am a mixed media painter using acrylic as my paint of choice and also collaging, paint pouring and/or using resin. Over the past few years I have developed a love for working with sand. I enjoy working with it as a base to create texture and I find it interesting how different regions have vastly different varieties. For my paint parties I use primarily acrylic paint for its versatility and quick drying capabilities

My Inspiration

I am inspired daily by my husband who is supportive as I pursue my dreams; my son who fills me with love; my girlfriends who are incredibly strong and driven; the earth with all of it's colors and textures; life with it's beauty and grit; and emotions so strong that they spill into creation. My mind never stops; whether it is painting, writing, thinking up business ventures (or more)... I am driven daily by the intense urge to create.
