    About Me.

    I've been an artist since childhood with a need to create things. I studied painting and design at Framingham State University under James Eng and Authur B. Mazmanian where I received a B.A. in art. I founded two successful graphic design companies shortly after graduating.  I've used my creative brain over the years to launch many inventions and publish a book about the creative process called, Idea to Invention. I feel blessed to paint full-time in my studio #493 at Western Avenue Studios & Lofts in Lowell, MA. My paintings are collected internationally including the permanent collection at Galerie Diderot in France. I'm inspired to interpret and paint things I love such as travel, nature, and  all things quirky. I work (mostly) with oils in an expressive impasto style. I always
    greet my canvas with an intention for it to reach whomever it’s meant for. I am the messenger and this feeds my soul. My artist name is
    Troods.
