I have enjoyed living in Maine for more than 20 years; working out of my quiet, bright studio in the woods in Franklin County, is a great inspiration to me year-round. I attended commercial art school early on, and have specialized in working with oil, ink, and pencil for the past three decades.
    When I step into my studio, it’s as if the outside world stops at the door, and I am overcome with the deep joy, excitement and freedom that come from being my creative self. Being an artist is not something I do; it is who I am, what I was meant to be in this lifetime.  My work explores the use of ink of coastal areas, oils on canvas - scenery, flowers, or abstract visions, and watercolors of favorite Maine areas. My newest adventure is encaustics-beautiful bold colors. 

I welcome your request for commissions - What kind of painting or drawing do you dream of hanging in your home? Is there a portrait you would like to give someone for a special occasion? Would this art make your business or organization more welcoming for your clients?
