My Background

I am primarily a painter. I am always excited to experiment in the studio. Above all, I love MATERIALS of all kinds.

My Inspiration

The environment around me, country or city, is my primary inspiration. Currently I am painting on the coast of Maine. Those colors and textures are my major source material. With these, I tell stories that meld together memories, social concerns and local observation.
