Painter, designer, environmentalist, and entrepreneur. A born advocate with innate passion, curiosity, and ambition, she was an environmentalist and vegetarian by age 11 and by then, totally obsessed with the sea.
Day earned a B.F.A. from Rhode Island College. She has worked for Sotheby’s as a paint restoration artist, as a painter on large-scale theatre scrims, a consultant on small business projects, and as a small business owner. Day’s entrepreneurial work has gained national attention, earning several awards in the sustainable and social enterprise arenas, including the 2009 Eileen Fisher Business Grant Program for Women Entrepreneurs and a Women's Empowerment Fellowship through the U.S. State Department and UCONN in 2013. Currently she is a partner in a start-up that in 2016 raised over a half million dollars of crowdfunding support for their innovative kayak, and successfully shipped its first production boats in March of 2018.
Painting in the US, Caribbean, Central America, and Europe for more than 3 decades, her work draws inspiration from sketches, journals, and photographs made during her travels. Her work can be found in galleries and private collections both here and abroad.
