The stone wall that lines my grandmother's rocky driveway in West Tisbury, MA. Martha's Vineyard is a place where I have loved to draw and paint my whole life. The natural beauty is everywhere.

I love drawing with charcoal. I am always amazed by how many different values and shades of gray I can create. This still life is one of my favorite pieces. When I use my eyes to tell my fingers how to move, I feel like my whole body is concentrating and working as one.

I loved working with a thin black pen on text for this piece. The movement and frequency of the ink lines create depth and perspective.

I love how the vase in this charcoal piece is fluid and launches the flowers upwards, almost like a tree with branches. The whole piece feels alive to me.

Something as mundane as a tool can turn into a beautiful object. I love the depth of the black shadows and playing with sharp lines against smudges.

I find self portraits challenging, but the more I do them, the more I think of them as an opportunity to learn.

I loved the challenge in perspective when I painted the dock. I worked very hard to have the sky and the ocean tell their own story.

In my English class we read "A Christmas Carol." I made this piece to illustrate how family and where you come from are more important than material things.

I am proud of the light that I was able to create in this piece. The plaster is very relaxing to work with.

My father's favoite food is papaya. I loved making this out of ceramics. The seeds look so real.

Working with ceramics is very rewarding. I made these trays for my mother who loves sushi.

My grandmother is from the island of Rhodes and I made these bowls for her based on Greek pottery that I have studied.

I made this for my mother for our Friday night Shabbat dinners. I find it rewarding to make art for the people I love.
