About the Artist

the people, places and things that surround  me

 working to celebrate the 

the simple objects and scenes that make up our every day life.  
My preferred medium is oil.
Landscapes close and far are my inspiration.
I paint from life whenever possible.

I have painted my whole life and continue to study in workshops and courses at every opportunity.  I hold a Bachelors degree in Art History and a Masters in Architecture from MIT.  I have worked as a builder, designer, plumber, printer, and home - maker.  I have trained, taught, competed and now paint horses. I have also been an active environmentalist, designing and implementing ocean projects all over the world. 

I am in love with the natural world and my work allows me to explore and express this love.

Paintings are best viewed in the real [as opposed to virtual] world!
