Thank you for your interest in me and my work.
I am a primarily self-taught representational painter based in Farmington, Connecticut. I paint in both oils and watercolors.
My goal as an artist is to illustrate our profound and necessary relationship with nature. I feel as a culture we are becoming disassociated from the natural world. My desire, as an artist, is to urge you to reestablish an integration with nature and regain the special relationship of shared energy and life that nature supports us with.
Through my intimate perspective paintings, I hope to entice you to reestablish a deep relationship with nature. See your environment and realize how it can enrich your life.
I try to capture what most pass over with a glance. The complex structures formed in reflections of clouds or trees in a waterscape create imperceptible images that one’s mind must dissect to make sense of. When we take time to focus on our surroundings they offer an abundance of the sublime to our lives.
I grew up in Amherst, MA. I've forever loved painting and drawing and envisioned myself becoming an artist at an early age. I graduated from Regis College in 1994 with an Art History major and minors in Fine Arts and English. I, then, took a detour from the artist path to raise two kids while in the Midwest. I'm exceedingly happy to be back on the East Coast and continuing on my artistic journey.
Thank you!
