I think of myself as a representational artist with a twist of impressionism. I strive for the Chiaroscuro effects of strong lights, dark shadows and saturated colors, tempering that dramatic play of light with loose brushstrokes of broken, impasto colors. I love old, timeworn objects, old books, brass and copper and I hope my paintings reflect the quiet drama of simpler times. I also enjoy the challenge of painting outside, “en plein air”, trying to capture the fleeting effects of light and color, and the ever-changing tides here on the coast of Maine. Painting is a challenge I thoroughly enjoy.

I am extremely pleased to be chosen as one of the best artists in Waldo County, Maine, by The Citizen's "Best of the Best Readers Poll” in 2008, 2009 and 2010. It is an honor I will always treasure. I sincerely thank all those who made this possible.
