I have always loved to create. As an artist I am always analyzing form, color, light and value. Preferring to paint outside in nature, I find inspiration in the constantly changing light and skies, embracing the time pressure to capture the moment on canvas. I paint mostly in oil because of the richness of color and the flexibility of this medium. Influenced by the great Impressionists, my goal is to capture light and atmosphere in every painting while creating a well composed, unique and interesting work of art. I want the viewer to see and feel the beauty, tranquility and wonder that exists in nature. Water is one of my favorite subjects.
I attended Massachusetts College of Art and have been fortunate to continue to grow and learn from some wonderful mentors such as the late Frances Weston Hoyt who was a Frank Vincent DuMond student, Gil Perry, John Traynor and Peter Granucci. I was an adjunct art professor at Colby-Sawyer College and often offer kids painting classes. I have participated in many juried shows as well as plein air events and competitions. I am a juried member of the New Hamsphire Art Association; a member of the Kittery Art Association, Library Arts Center, Newport and Center for the Arts, New London.
I am on the board of the Library Arts Center and a volunteer at Wags N Wiggles Dog Rescue. I reside in Antrim, NH but travel all over New England to paint. I love the beauty of the mountains as well as the excitement of the sea.
