Welcome to my website. I am a Maryland native and live at the head of the Chesapeake Bay where Tidewater meets the Piedmont. I paint the landscape, architecture and people of this scenic area and also of the Down East coast of Maine where I have a summer studio. Travels to Ireland to explore my Celtic roots have added subjects from the British Isles to my portfolio.
I paint in the style of traditional realism in the mediums of watercolor and oil. My paintings reflect my life journey. Art is a connection to the inner soul and my paintings are a direct response to something that has touched me emotionally. For me the joy of painting is in capturing and sharing a moment in time from the beauty in the world around me.
Spring is in the air! I cut lilacs today and the pink is spreading on the dogwood tree. The lawn is a sea of purple from the prolific wild violets and I plan to be out plein air painting during the next week after my watercolor classes. I will be participating in the Plein Air Show at The Palette & The Page gallery in Elkton during the month of June. Look for more information as the time draws closer. Welcome Spring! |
