The coast of Maine is my home, I draw from its energy and beauty as well as my life on our small farm.  I am passionate about creating pieces that are authentic to my experience, whether it be from a walk along the beach or the joy I feel when I hold my grandson in my arms. This year has brought several changes to my life and with those changes comes new ways of working, new inspirations and some sadnesses. The beautiful part of being an artist is having the ability to process all of these phases in life into a tangible piece of art. How grateful I am to share this gift.

 

I describe my process as an intuitive, curious exploration. Often times I begin in one direction and land in quite another. Starting each piece with a playful sense of  humor and freedom, meandering around until I feel "something" in the work that captures my interest.  I'll then begin to hone in on the final composition, fine tuning the details and adjusting as I finish. It is paramount for me to accurately articulate the sensation of a particular moment as it relates to a place, an event or an experience with use of color, texture and design of an artwork. 

 

 The art I make is a concrete reminder of the passion, joy, and moments that come from embracing all the experiences that life has to offer. I invite you to explore my work, discover the stories behind each one, and find the one that speaks to you."
