Artist Statement

I enjoy capturing the beauty of the Northeast in my paintings.  I create works in watercolor, acrylic, oil, and pastel; the choice of medium often is suggested by the subject I choose to paint.  Color, atmosphere, form and movement, and the inherent poetry found in natural subjects inspire my work. My artwork typically depicts scenes from around my area, which is rich in natural beauty and provides me with endless inspiration. The serene woodlands in back of my home, the stunning glory of Lake George and the Adirondacks, scenes full of stories both known and untold, offer fascinating motifs for me to explore.
