About me

At a young age, Dutch artists’ masterful use of light allured my artistic interest in oil painting. With time, these interests evolved to include watercolors.  I soon discovered that I could combine my photography with painting through the art of hand coloring black and white prints. The careful process begins with untouched black and white photos printed on artistic paper . Using a combination of transparent oil paints, oil pencils and pastel, I then create unique colored prints.

​

At home in rural Maine, I find the changing seasons inspire and motivate the creative mind. My imagination has always been captivated by the natural world, inspiring work, leisure and recreation both indoors and out – spending time hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing and mountain guiding year round, while pursuing passions in music, painting and photography.

​

The complexities and pace of our daily lives often prevents attention to the small details that energize and touch hearts – those reflective moments when our inner eye catches a glimpse of the beauty and mystery that surrounds us. With art, one can capture these moments, suspending a visual experience that holds meaning indescribable by word.
