I love to set up my easel and paint in the fresh air. There is a sense of immediacy to it. I am forced to be fully present and in the moment. Painting is my form of meditation. This body of work spans over many years of plein air painting in New England.

I painted this commissioned piece in the fall of 2022 for a friend, Shashi Jori. It was my medicine to go outside and paint in the afternoon to capture the right light. I encountered many wonderful people as they honked and gave support as they drove by. Art brings people together. The beauty of our world heals.

Collaged Landscapes
I have always loved maps, and the feeling of wandering, exploring, and adventure that comes along with finding my way about with a map. Current technology has made paper maps feel antiquated, and cumbersome, like and encyclopedia, a paper map is not longer needed. For me, though every map tells a story.
