I draw inspiration from a lifetime of living in New England, and love the changeable seasonal nature of our surroundings. My paintings are done primarily in oil “en plein air”, captured quickly outdoors and often completed in my studio. I work directly from life with an eye toward observing and expressing the evanescent effects of light and atmosphere. Although I style my work after the Boston School painters and their deep foundation in impressionism, I frequently refer back to the Dutch Masters and particularly appreciate their way of presenting a story within a painting.
I am a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Illustration, and spent a number of years as a graphic designer and illustrator before focusing on painting. I studied painting with Robert Douglas Hunter and David P. Curtis.
My work has been included in a number of juried shows throughout the area, and I have received prizes from the Guild of Boston Artists, the Rockport Art Association, The Cape Cod Art Center, the Weston Arts and Crafts Association and the Newton Art Association. I am a juried member of the Rockport Art Association.
