:: about my paintings ::
Most of my adult life has been in Santa Fe, NM, where the colors are so brilliant and the skies so blue that one is compelled to paint those images before they are lost in the quagmire of everyday life. I now also enjoy a summer/fall residence near the Belgrade Lakes region of Maine, painting there the lush greens and rustic surroundings. You might say, I have the best of both worlds!
I believe sometimes our busy lives don't always allow us to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Hopefully, I can record some of that for us and future generations.
:: about me ::
I began taking art lessons at an early age in my hometown of Augusta, Maine. I furthered my education with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Boston University and began a varied career: teacher, gallery owner, real estate agent, taking a hiatus from the studio part of this time. It was so refreshing to begin painting again a decade later with a more mature look at the world of art.

Over the years, I moved from Maine to Massachusetts to upstate New York and then to New Mexico. Currently, I have the privilege of living in Santa Fe most of the year with a part-time residence in Maine.
I also love to travel and always have the camera or paint brush handy!
