"I am inspired by the natural beauty of Maine and base many of my landscapes on the marshes, the ocean and land nearby."
I grew up outside Washington D.C. and when I wasn't making a mess with paint and paper I spent countless hours in the backyard studying moss and insect covered logs with a magnifying glass. Polliwogs in mayonnaise jars were kept hostage at bedside until they sprouted legs. These places from childhood inform the palette and surface of my paintings.
