Maine has been home for many years and I find its beauty to be sustaining.

I've turned to painting in my life when I've needed to express a strong emotion, often fitting in a painting a few times a year while engaged in a full life with my partner Frank, raising our children, gardening, and teaching in public schools.

​

The pandemic and an empty nest created space while also giving me much to express.

 Many pieces are very textured because I like to rework them. I also often paint over old paintings. Each session is time spent again in these quiet, pristine places- both seen and imagined.
