Artist Statement:
Being a native from Melrose,
Massachusetts, I was fortunate
enough to be engrossed by a
thriving art community during
my pre-college years. In high
school, I was graced with the
teachings of fine art teachers
Paul Squatrito, Kathy Marsh, &
Chris Riccardi. Through their
teachings, I gained a stronger
affinity toward art and
continued my artistic journey
into college. At the
University of New Hampshire, I
had the honor of studying
under national renown art
professors Craig Hood,
Jennifer Moses, Grant
Drumheller, and Brian Chu. In
2003, I received a B.A. in
Fine Art with a focus in oil
painting and graduated with
high honors, which was an
achievement that no art
student at the university had
done in over 15 years.
Since graduating from UNH,
I’ve had many art exhibitions
and have been solely surviving
off of my oil painting since
early 2006. I make my living
from selling oil paintings at
gallery shows, open studios,
art festivals, and coffee
shops all over the state and
also from being hired to do
commission work for clients. I
am a member of the Melrose

(MACA) and also the Salem Arts
Association where I have ...

Hi J.J.!
Ur work seems to be following me everywhere! At th moment, I am siting in Al Adams apartment in Brooklyn where your new York streeet scene picture settles into its new home against a wall the color of shortbread (which I assure you compliments your work fantasitically). Just wanted to give you a shout and say that I think you're very talented (sorry- Im too tired to give you any specific feedback right now), but I am really inspired by you and your decision to make a living as an artist. Cheers! -Vanessa
