"As a landscape painter I enjoy working directly from nature and feel that it is when you directly engage yourself with the subject and the light that a honest and sincere conversation can transpire. The greater challenge is transforming smaller paintings into larger formats in the studio and still maintain honesty, surrendering the intellectual and mechanical to the sublime truth of gut. Working in watercolors and oils I find that pursuing both venues enables me to explore the gentle and the bold when expressing this passion. My hope is that the conversations with and the passion that I feel for color and nature transpires into a language that others can enjoy as well.

Raised in Provincetown since childhood, the talented and creative people that surrounded me growning up were a constant inspiration The town itself has a charm and beauty that inspires new work and beckons me home again and again."
