Hi there! My name is Dina Martinelli and I am a painter and art teacher in the greater Boston area. I graduated with a BFA in Painting from Boston University in 2015, and hold 2 masters degrees in teaching. In the studio, I love creating large scale acrylic paintings which have recently been about places and cities, and draw inspiration from maps and topography. I also create custom watercolor pet and house/landscape portraits on my etsy page. Thanks for stopping by!

As an artist, my goal is to create liminal spaces where viewers can escape the constraints of reality and enter a world of vivid color, play, and joy. Through my work, I aim to explore the boundaries of the traditional art world and push the limits of what is possible.
