Welcome to my new website. This site is designed to encompass thirty years of my life’s passion, starting with my most recent work, and dating back to 1985 when I graduated from Maine College of Art.

I make art to add positive energy to a room. I make art because I find meaning in creating. I have been painting with focus since before I could write, my kindergarten teacher even said that I had elaborate plans for my finger paintings. I find it counterintuitive to write about my paintings, I prefer to let the work speak for itself and to allow viewers to see their own interpretations. That is my ultimate reward.
