Ross is an artist captivated by the energy and movement that art can evoke, drawing on his deep appreciation for vibrant, kinetic works. His passion for quilting, ethnographic forms, and tribal art informs his distinctive designs, whether they're floral, abstract, or somewhere in between. His patterns are uniquely his own, inspired by diverse traditions and transformed into something fresh and contemporary.

Working with encaustic and drawing upon his background in graphic design, Ross expertly merges a variety of techniques to create art that feels transformative. His dedication to pointillism—meticulously applying dots of pigment wax with a wax stylus—produces intricate textures that call to mind the delicate craftsmanship of needlepoint, while also conveying a dynamic energy.

A lifelong mixed media artist and serial crafter, Ross’s creative journey began early and only deepened over time. He discovered quilting during college, and despite the demands of a corporate career that spanned over three decades, he nurtured his artistic side during his evenings and weekends. During this time, he also honed his skills in the Adobe Creative Suite and a broad range of mixed media techniques.

Today, Ross balances his time between two creative hubs: the renowned Artisans Asylum in Boston, where he works out of a collaborative studio, and his own personal studio in the artist haven of Provincetown, Massachusetts.
