Artists Bio:

My art interests have been varied throughout my life. As a child, coloring and drawing were favorite pastimes. Later my interest grew to include painting, printmaking, woodworking, and photography. I credit my high school art teacher with introducing me to watercolor. I found the medium to be both captivating and, at times, rather challenging. Though I continued to occasionally paint in watercolor as a young adult, it was only later that I re-discovered a greater affection and appreciation for the medium.
In regards to the subject matter, I'm most drawn to paint rural landscapes and those things found within. These might include fields bordered by forest, weathered barns, old stone walls, rocky outcroppings and small bodies of water, just to name a few. Fortunately, I currently live in an area with no shortage of these kinds of subjects and scenes. Whenever I find myself on one of Vermont's many country roads, I can't help but to constantly scan the landscape in search of reference material for future paintings.
As an artist, I’m torn between my love for painting details and my desire to painting more expressively. I do attempt to focus on the principles of good design. I'm interested in texture, shapes, and contrasting values. Combining these elements with watercolor’s natural fluidity and subtlety, I strive to capture and express the essence of the subjects I choose to paint.
