My work is an observation of ordinary beauty, in both nature and humanity. I use mainly acrylic or watercolor paints to capture and share my unique perspective on a common subject. While my style leans toward realism, I don’t attempt to precisely replicate; I use color and movement to offer my own interpretation of a place, person, or object. The Adirondack region I call home is a source of endless inspiration, as are the people in my life. Landscapes and living creatures are a staple in my work, along with the occasional narrative pieces and thematic series. I believe art celebrates individuality while creating space for shared experience. I hope my paintings are a reminder to viewers that our natural environment and our liberties should not be taken for granted…both are vulnerable and must be cherished and protected.
