MY STORY

I have called coastal Connecticut my home for most of my life. I live and have my studio on a 200 year-old farm

with my family.

​

The fields afford wide vistas of the beautiful Connecticut skies and the views out my studio windows offer treats of hunting foxes, foraging deer and hawks. At night as I walk back from the studio to the house for dinner I hear the distant hoots of the owls in the woods nearby. It is the natural beauty of this

place and my appreciation for God's workmanship that inspires my art.

 

I work primarily on fine art papers and boards in pastel and gouache, an opaque watercolor that can create luminous effects. I am a graduate of Cornell University's fine art program and have also studied at Philadelphia College of Art. For 15 years

I was an art director, most notably at

Young and Rubicam Advertising.
 

I am always open to doing commissions

of animals, places or flights of fancy.

I love collaborating. Send me an email on my contact page and we can discuss it!
