About

 

   As a passionate artist with an enduring love for color and creativity, my artistic journey began in my formative years, finding solace and joy in the expressive power of pencils, markers, and paints. This early fascination opened the door to a world of drawing, painting, and illustration that continues to shape my artistic expression today.

   Having been born and raised in Massachusetts, my artistic sensibilities have been further nurtured by the scenic beauty of Maine and the vibrant art community of Florida, where I now spend a significant portion of my time. This duality of environments has profoundly influenced my work, infusing it with a dynamic fusion of varied landscapes and cultural inspirations. The interplay between the rugged natural beauty of Maine and the vivacious energy of Florida has fueled my exploration of diverse artistic styles and techniques.

   In my artistic practice, the allure of plein air painting has become an integral aspect of my creative process. The immersive experience of capturing nature's fleeting moments en plein air allows me to translate the essence of a scene onto canvas, infusing my work with an authentic sense of spontaneity and vitality. Whether it is the serene tranquility of a coastal scene or the dynamic interplay of light and shadow in a bustling urban setting, each brushstroke is imbued with the essence of the natural world.

   Through my artwork, I strive to offer viewers a glimpse into the world as I perceive it, inviting them to share in the emotions and experiences that inspire my creations. Each piece is an intricate reflection of my unique perspective, inviting contemplation and evoking a deeper appreciation for the profound beauty that surrounds us.

   Moreover, my passion for painting extends beyond my personal practice. I derive great joy from sharing my knowledge and expertise with aspiring artists through both in-person classes and an engaging online art membership. Guiding students in their artistic endeavors and witnessing their creative growth brings me immense fulfillment and reinforces my belief in the transformative power of art education.

   In essence, my artistic journey is a continuous exploration of the interplay between nature, emotion, and human perception. With each stroke of the brush, I endeavor to capture the essence of the world around us, offering a visual narrative that celebrates the beauty and complexity of our surroundings. Through my artwork and my role as an educator, I aspire to foster a greater appreciation for art's ability to inspire, evoke emotion, and cultivate a deeper connection with our surroundings and within ourselves.
