“Username:” is a series of portraits depicting people whom I have met through the internet. Most of my friendships and love interests have been found through chatrooms and social networking sites, rather than physical interaction. This context of communication and connection-making is entirely unique to the current generation of technology, and it has completely changed the way I develop relationships. To gather references for these portraits I used the means with which I communicate with each person. I attempted to push the initial abstraction caused by the poor quality of the images to illustrate the disconnection and two dimensionality of a long distance relationship. However, by creating the image using tangible media it reintroduces the physicality of that person.

I am an artist and educator based in Portland, Maine. I received my BFA from the New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2015, and since have shown work internationally both in museums and galleries. I was named one of 2017's "Remarkable Women" by NH Magazine, which is pretty cool. Most recently, I was profiled in The Jealous Curator’s new book A Big Important Art Book (Now With Women!), interviewed in TIME magazine on transgender issues, and had my work accepted into the permanent collection of the Library of Congress. Currently, I am an adjunct faculty member within the Art & Design department at Lasell University. I am also an InterACT Youth Member as well as an executive committee member for the Boston LGBTQ+ Artist Alliance. contact me at
