While my professional background is as both an interior designer and an architect, I have been painting for over 25 years. I work in watercolor, and my subject matter is usually landscapes.

All pieces are painted on location. This allows me to experience the amazing effects of light on colors and textures. Even more important for me though is that this also helps me to be “in the moment” and to more fully experience these great places. Painting in one spot, and focusing on one view for several hours really helps me to “see” what is there, and what makes each place special. That includes the sounds, sights, smells, wildlife and the climate of the particular place. This has included surprise visits from ravens as well as a momma bear and her 3 cubs.

My work has been influenced by a love of nature, color, and light, as well as the inspiration from workshops taken with some very talented artists. These include Betty Lou Schlemm, Mel Stabin, Brian Atyeo, Tony van Hasselt and William Vrscak. The paintings to be exhibited typically focus on recent works painted in New England or Alaska.

• The Alaska work features wilderness areas such as the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve, and the Copper River, which is part of the St. Elias/Wrangell National Park system.
• The New England work includes several scenes from Block Island and other classics, such as scenes from Plum Island and the colorful cranberry bog harvest.

My work is often exhibited locally in both juried and non-juried shows. Recent exhibits have included Centre Street Café in Jamaica Plain, the Amazing Things juried show, Arts/Wayland Annual Show, two recent Tower Gallery shows and a rotating 6 month exhibit at Traditions of Wayland.
