My work is an exploration of both the natural world and the inner self–through florals, seascapes and abstract expressionism. I am drawn to the dynamic energy of the New England coastline, where the rugged rocks, the shifting sands and the constant pulse of the surf offer a profound sense of both grounding and freedom. Similarly, in my floral paintings, I embrace the delicate yet fierce beauty of nature, capturing flowers not just informed but in their essence where every brushstroke becomes a living gesture. I paint with a loose, expressive approach, driven by an impulse to make marks that mirror the energy of the world around me. The abstract expressionist movement has deeply influenced my work, inspiring me to create large canvases where I engage in a dialogue with my materials–acrylics, inks, and other mixed media–allowing the marks to evolve, organically and intuitively. Music plays a crucial role in my creative process. When I listen to powerful, eclectic music and enter a meditative mental space, magic happens. These moments of free-flowing, uninhibited painting allows my work to take on a life of its own, where I trust the process, and let emotion lead. Whether I am capturing the energy of a flower or the movement of the ocean, I find that abandoning thought and surrendering to the rhythm of my brushstrokes allows me to truly express myself.
