I can’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t drawing or painting and over the years it has become a great source of relaxation for me. Though mostly self-taught, I have had the privilege of being around some wonderful artists whose guidance and encouragement has helped me to grow not only as an artist, but as a person.

I love old barns and other unique buildings (lighthouses, cottages and the like). Endeavoring to depict the emotion and history contained in their structure is one of my favorite challenges, from intriguing entryways to weathered windows and rusted rooflines. Solitary pathways and fields with rhythms created by rock walls, streams and trees are a constant draw for my imagination as well. But attempting to find a stylistic thread that connects my work, I’d have to say is not necessarily the line or subject matter, but rather the varied use of color in the pieces that I create.

My work has been exhibited in galleries in Lenox, Pittsfield and Torrington, CT.
