Artist Bio: I have been working in gouache for the last thirty years. My panoramic landscapes are brightly colored celebrations of the rural beauty of Rensselaer and Washington counties in New York. Inspired by the Hudson River School, luminous sunsets and dramatic skies rise above farm houses, barns, silos and fields that serve as reminders of human existence within these natural settings.
