Born and raised in blueberry country, I am a Maine made artist. I am inspired by the living and natural world that surrounds us all. Through art, I explore our connection to nature, including the undeniable fragility that is found there. And the importance for us to protect it. Art, since the beginning, has been a way to record history through visual storytelling. I attempt to produce art that moves the viewer beyond the piece itself, and into that storytelling place.
Using an “old fashioned” ink well, with variously-sized nibs, I am able to add different texture and line. I often avoids using color, because I find the contrast of black and white more dramatic. While the subject matter of my work is based in realism, there is a conceptual quality added through geometric shapes and patterns.
Today, I am an active part of the western Maine arts community. My work has been on display in many towns and cities across New England. I have participated in multi day artisan fairs From the Common Ground fair in Unity Maine, to the Castleberry fairs of New Hampshire. I love sharing my artwork with the world.
