Welcome to my website

I am constantly bowled over by the heartbreaking beauty of the world and feel compelled to translate the emotional response that I experience (what Milton Avery called “the ecstasy of the moment”) to paint and paper.

Watermedia* provides me with the luminosity and vibrant colors to create an atmosphere that celebrates the joy of life – and hints at its transitory nature.

My inspiration primarily comes from, what I consider to be “Endangered Landscapes,” the fields, farms, and forests of the Northeast.

The subjects of my paintings are reduced to simplified shapes that provide clues to their history and our ties to them.

*Watermedia includes watercolor, acrylic, gouache, and casein paints.
