Welcome to My Artist Website!
Thank you for stopping by to visit my artist website!
I began creating art as a refuge from the stress of a career in nursing. Working with the critically ill was fulfilling, but emotionally very draining.
Painting New England seascapes and landscapes, where I strive to absorb the local colors and capture the changing light, weather, and seasons, evokes a sense of peace and tranquility in me. It was the the perfect antidote to the stresses of my job and developed into a passion.
After 45 years I left nursing to pursue my passion - art. My joy is in creating realistic plein air paintings with an impressionistic color sense that powerfully draws you into my paintings. I invite you to pause a moment to share my feeling of peacefulness in your busy day. I hope you will recall a place where you found that peacefulness.
I visit France every year to capture the ambiance, light, and color of the provincial villages, vistas, and ancient architecture that dot the landscape. Painting in Provence shows a truly a different way of life. I think I am always unconsiously looking for my French roots.
It's my hope to impart the same feelings of peace and tranquility in you that I feel as I create my work, to provide you with a moment of peace, from the stresses of your busy life and help remind you of the things that make life worth living.
