BC 2022

I am senior undergraduate at the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences of Boston College majoring in Neuroscience and Studio Art. I have been engaged in art practice since middle school but became serious about pursuing a professional career in the arts shortly after beginning my art education at university which is where I discovered my passion for painting. After becoming deeply inspired during my early days of doing serious academic painting, I began to branch out into more independent projects, most significantly my brand Echoes by Max® where I sell original clothing items, prints, and commission custom works. Although I believe my best works to be acrylic and oil paintings, I also have significant experience with a wide range of other media like collage, colored pencil, Copic marker, watercolor and ink (pen & Sumi), charcoal, and pencil and am currently expanding my focus into more digitally based media. I believe that an expressionist impulse grounds all of my work and is maintained during my oscillation between abstract or figurative subject matters. Visual art is a non-linguistic medium through which I can engage with aspects of myself and the objects of my environment, represent them in a unique composition and consequently understand the focuses of my investigations more fully whether they revolve around dream content, real-life experiences, mythological archetypes, or scientific research.
