So many art forms and enterprises demand and compete for my attention, and I dabble in many. It's the art of transformation that appeals to me most, and the joy in making something from nothing.  The restoration of older homes has been a pastime of mine but so is making a gazpacho with fresh produce, a gypsy vest of others' leftover yarns, or a painting using discarded paints and wood.

My paintings are acrylic and/or oil on wood custom selected for each piece. In actuality, though, it's the wood that determines what’s to go on it. Call me a wood-whisperer. I am.

Some pieces of wood speak louder and more clearly than others, but most have a story, and all can tell one.  I’m happy to bring them to life, based on landscapes profoundly dear or familiar to me, ones that draw me in, some over and over again.

I’m a relative newcomer to the area, especially by Maine standards, and have had most of my showings in New York’s greater metropolitan area. I’m delighted to have moved a part of my focus to Maine and its spectacular landscapes, indulged myself with a sola show with 90 pieces up at Kennebunk Free Library’s Speers Gallery last year, along with numerous other showings in Lewiston’s Munka Gallery, Gooserocks’ Community Center, the Buoy Gallery in Kittery, and Kennebunkport’s Graves Library, and Masonic Lodge under the banner of the Maine Women in the Arts.

In my role as environmental activist and advocate I was particularly delighted to be part of Kennebunk’s Brick Store Museum’s recent “Earthly Observations” Exhibit as it engendered my passion for community building and collaborative artwork in the context of celebrating and caring for our environment in the face of the climate change pandemic. I am likewise thrilled to participate in Kennebunk Land Trust’s “Nature’s Canvas Unveiled” event.
