I am a painter living in Maine. My painting is strongly influenced by my 25+ years working as a professional photographer. The natural landscape has always been my source of inspiration and painting has given me the ability to capture the landscape in a more tactile way. I love texture, color and expressive brushwork.

I work both on location and from photographs, they both have their benefits and I don't always have the luxury of time to spend the necessary time to paint on location. Luckily I love photographing and have a plethora of material!!

Recently I have been splitting my time between Maine and Vermont. These are two amazingly beautiful states and two areas that have played a huge role in my artistic life. What brings me joy is sharing the beauty that I witness everyday with others.
