 Artist Statement

     As a native of Massachusetts and a painter, I am constantly drawn to capture the natural world and the beauty of the seascape, landscape, marine life and scenes of our working boats and harbors. I fill my paintings with color and light in an effort to bring my subjects to life for the viewer.
