I am an abstract and impressionist painter located in Pepperell Mills, a beautifully renovated historic textile factory, in Biddeford, Maine. I was inspired by my natural surroundings growing up among the dense pine forests, the sprawling fields, and the coastal towns in Southern Maine that seeped into my soul. I was lucky enough to find the space and opportunity to grow my art career while living on the East End of Long Island and now I am so excited to be back living and creating in Maine surrounded by my family and the landscape that I love.

 

My artistic practice is a response to the colors, energies, textures, and composition of my life. Every day I am working on creating an internal and external world that speaks to all the various aspects of my life that I cherish, art, family, love, creative freedom, and growth. My ultimate goal is to, through my artwork, create a connection to my viewers that moves them in some way through what I am called to create.
