Artist's Statement
I find beauty everywhere. Painting is a way to take some of that
beauty and capture my individual response. I can then put that
response into a recognizable form and share it with others.
Light is required in order to see and my response is often directly
related to the quality of light. I try to pay special attention to
what it is about the light that drew me. For me, it is the
response, both mine and yours, that is important. So, I do not
always paint exactly what is in front of me. Rather, what I see
provides the inspiration. I grew up in New England and live in New
England now; so, inspiration for some of my paintings has been
gleaned on the shores of Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire and Lake
Thompson in Maine, along roadsides, wooded trails, the coasts of
Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts and the wealth of rivers,
streams, lakes, ponds and beaches throughout New England. Enjoy!
