Artist Statement:  The Marblehead Festival of Arts has always been a part of our family. From my earliest memories, my parents, sister, and I have spent the 4th of July weekend setting up art exhibits, photographing the street festival, or working the information booth. When asked if I would be interested in creating a cod for the third time, I was thrilled to be able to participate.

Generally, my favorite art medium to work in is pen and ink; however, I have recently started introducing color into my work. When designing the cod "Zen Garden", I allowed my imagination to run wild in both color and form.
