Artist's Statement

My work is a joyful celebration of nature and color, expressed through realism.  I use acrylic paint on wooden panels to create my paintings.

I hope anyone who views my work feels calmer and more peaceful for having done so. Pause and take a deep breath. Let the scene relax you. Nature is a healer. Enjoy this right now, just for a moment. My paintings are to remind you to breathe, to let go, to feel joy and peace within. My work is a meditation, a visual reminder to come back to the here and now, a moment of calm in a sea of busy.

Nature is my inspiration.  It fills me with awe and peace. That's what I want to capture in my paintings and share with the world.  There is so much beauty in Maine. It's hard not to see paintings everywhere.
