I am a representational painter who works most often in acrylics and oils. My paintings pay homage to the places I travel and to my hometown of Stonington, Connecticut. I return often to the same lovely coves, salt marshes and freshwater ponds closed to my home on the coast while never producing the same image twice. Instead, I explore these places from different vantage points, at different times of day, and in different seasons.

       My travels most often take me to francophone destinations, so the the streets and gardens of Paris, the south of France, the island of Martinique, and both rural and cosmopolitan Quebec are frequently represented. Now and then I paint strictly from memory and imagination.

       I am an elected member of the Artists’ Cooperative Gallery of Westerly (currently President); a member of the Copley Society of Art, Boston, MA; an associate member of the Lyme Art Association, Old Lyme, CT; a member of Essex CT Art Association, the Bristol Art Museum, R.I., and a juried member of Connecticut Women Artists, Inc. I have shown my work in juried shows throughout the region for many years.
