Bio for Website: I am a native New Englander who came to painting late in life. I retired early from a corporate career and decided to finally explore this interest that’s followed me since childhood. These days I spend my time seeing where the paint takes me, traveling at home and overseas, and spending time with family and friends. My paintings are inspired by the vibrant colors and natural beauty of New England and my travels abroad. Whether it’s the lap of the sea against the rocks, the beat of a hummingbird’s wings or the petals of a flower, nature has much to teach us about the beauty in simple moments of nature. I love pattern, the play of colors together, and exploring finished vs. unfinished effects.

Materials and Techniques: Small affordable oil paintings reflecting the beauty of New England and my travels. Focusing mostly on birds and animals but also landscapes and florals
