My art is an expression of the joy and playfulness I hope to share with the world. I paint in bold, vibrant colors with graphic shapes, pattern and shading that makes each color pop. Over the years, I've explored series inspired by Maine landscapes, memory-based abstracts, and still lifes drawn from personal moments. An artist friend called my work "a beautiful reprieve." and that stayed with me...I paint the scenes I want to be in, creating a world I hope you'll step into too: one filed with color, delight, and a sense of connection. After stepping away from landscapes for a time, I found myself reflecting on the idea of place and how rooted I feel in Maine. I've returned to painting the Maine landscape with fresh inspiration, renewed enthusiasm, and a desire to bring more volume and presence to each shape through shading. A defining moment in my journey was visiting the Philadelphia Museum of Art as a teenager, where the bold colors and striking imagery of Pop Art left a lasting impression. That spark of delight continues to inspire my work today. I graduated from George School, a Quaker school in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and went on to study Fine Art at Trinity College and illustration at Parson School of Design. I live in Yarmouth, Maine with my husband Kevin in a home filled with colorful, local art and the energy of artists we're lucky to know.
