Visit our Artist Nook this month and view the lovely works of Irene. Sculptor, abstract painter, photographer and mixed media artist, her art is deeply influenced by nature and her environment. Her style of painting with glitter creates a whimsical, dream like quality.
Irene has worked as a volunteer, using art as therapy, for the transgender community for the past five years. She enjoys working with both the young, and the elderly, bringing communities together through the love of art. Born in Michigan, but raised in CT into a military family, Irene has travelled the US, and once lived in Spain with her family.
She holds a B.F.A in Fine Art with Art History concentration from Eastern Connecticut State University. While at Eastern, Irene worked for the Akus Gallery and learned to appreciate the other side to being an artist.
