I graduated from college with a BA in commercial art and, after a 30+ year career as an award-winning graphic designer and illustrator, I returned to my first love for painting and drawing as an artist, working in a representational style.

Light and how it affects form, color and mood are the fundamentals I follow to represent the beauty and diversity I see in nature and in people. I work in my studio from my own sketches, reference photographs and field notes, and I also enjoy painting en plein air.

On Cape Cod the unique light, color and vistas provide endless opportunities for inspiration and subject matter. Travel also influences my art. Seeing and interpreting as an artist gives me fresh perspectives on the places I’ve seen and the people I’ve met.
