I live in an active sailing town on the North Carolina coast.
I'm captivated by the exhilaration of the imagery and the motion,
whether sailboats are racing, anchored out or resting in harbor.
My muse is everywhere I turn.
Full immersion during eight years of figure study launched my observation through
drawing and painting. During that time I enjoyed a deep collegiality with a
closely knit group of fellow artists and our mentor Aidron Duckworh.
“When God Was a Man” was my thesis and full gallery show which completed my degree
with the human figure as my focus at Vermont College of Norwich University.
My paintings have been featured in solo shows, galleries and
juried shows both nationally and internationally.
My work is in museums and in public, private, national and international collections.
I am an alla prima oil painter seeking first impressions since they are the truest aspect
of our perceptions. That is, we have no control over them, I aim to capture
their immediacy and their essence with each stroke of the knife or brush.
I paint impressionist and abstract nautical art. I also paint and study grotesques,
imbuing them with lifelike qualities. For a period of about six years
I worked in relief, binding twisted paper tissue with starch and
affixing it to a ground creating primal, evolutionary figurative imagery.
The outcome of my experience and work, is an ever growing group of series
based on time, location and the momentum of living.
