Oil, Watercolor, Pastel
The
coast of Maine, jagged and sharp with color; the wood on old, beloved barns; the bounce of boats and sunlight
in the sea; the flawed elegance of birch trees: these are my muses. I grew up in New England and the woods,
water, mountains and rocky shores all conspire to influence my work. I aim to blend the impressionist, fauvist and
abstract expressionist traditions in a color-saturated palette consisting of the brightest, most vibrant hues. By using
these particular forms and colors, I hope to bring the viewer to a joyful and contemplative place.
