Artist Statement

A love of color, craft and solitude in nature led me to life as a painter.  In recent years I lived at the end of Cape Cod where I would walk the beach and the dunes and have the humbling experience of feeling very small against all that sea force. I now live in Northwest Vermont and there is a new force of mountain, lake, forest and field to explore.

Creating a sense of place in my paintings, of capturing the feeling I experience in a landscape interests me. The landscape speaks to me, the wildness speaks to a certain wildness contained within me. My paintings are a visual interpretation of what I hear.  The paintings invite the viewer to walk to the mysterious edge of the natural world. I hope the viewer finds their own connection, that they recognize something from their own experience, remembering that the wildness speaks to them as well.
