The beauty of Nantucket Island has inspired my artistic pursuits whether it be designing, basket weaving, or painting. As a long time, Nantucket Artist Association member, I have taken many workshops and classes with fellow Nantucket artists. I also have studied at the Danforth Art Museum and with artists in the Boston area.
Through the painting process I try to capture light effects of a scene to display a mood or feeling. Capturing the essence of these moments by composing a painting with shapes, color, texture, and brush stroke are the challenges that inspire me to grow as an artist. In this way I can share the joys I experience while painting and observing the natural environment. My journey as an artist is an exploration of these experiences.
