I thoroughly enjoy painting and drawing a variety of subject matter, but I am most heavily influenced by the maritime life, history and architecture that I grew up with on coastal New England.
While my environment provides me with a vast wealth of ideas to paint, what truly inspires me is creating artwork for others. Whether it be a pet portrait for a client, or a painting of a restaurant for a chef friend, nothing motivates me more than bringing a little bit of joy to people with my artwork. Having an original painting or drawing with a deeply personal connection is a unique experience for most people - an experience I hope to provide many more with.
I have explored many mediums over the years and am currently working mostly in gouache on panel with a more painterly style. My drawings now consistently rotate between pen & ink and charcoal, largely thanks to a local drawing group that has helped me rediscover my love of live model figure drawing.
