Living  half the year in mid-coast Maine,  my subjects are the nature preserves, villages and shore line of this rocky coast.  The light in Maine is amazing,  enticing painters for over two centuries.  It is important for me to visit these places of beauty, and capture on canvas the mood, color and glorious light.   Subjects are endless, but not the assurance that nature's gifts... particularly the preserves... will always be here.  I hope my work encourages others to visit and enjoy these places,  but also inspires us to keep nature pristine for future generations.

I thoroughly enjoy my craft and hope you too can feel the emotion of the moment when I chanced upon the scene.  Over time, I have been fortunate to study with some of the best contemporary landscape painters on the east coast and the southwest.  My work has been shown on the juried art show circuit, in galleries in Maine, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in museum and corporate settings,  receiving awards in oil,  acrylic and pastel.  

It is my pleasure to share the work with you, visit often as new work is always on the easel and being added to the site.  Commissions are welcome and if you are interested in seeing archived work, I am happy to share work now in private collections.

Thanks for spending a few minutes of your time with me, questions as to the creative process and information on any of the paintings are most welcome.    Enjoy..... Midge
