Artist Statement
My work currently includes a cross-section of subjects that explore different media (mostly pastels, oils, and charcoal), varied palettes, the variation of light on nature and architecture, and artistic style. Despite my need to explore diverse themes, I am consistently drawn to bold images, dramatic light, contrast and deep perspective. My work depicts my strong interest in painting rainy, blurry, realistic and impressionistic subjects. I am particularly drawn to the chaos and unexpected beauty of urban landscapes and traffic.

Trained as an art teacher, it wasn’t until four years ago that I had the time to return to art, this time with passion and conviction. I currently divide my time working in corporate training, teaching art, and creating and exhibiting my work throughout New England. My workshops focus on the importance of value and composition in painting.
