Welcome to my site.  Spending half the year in mid-coast Maine provides wonderful inspiration..... from ocean to  woodland streams..... to villages and mountains...each place is special with Maine's amazing light that has attracted painters to the state for centuries.

My work is not intended to be a copy of nature,  but is my impression of the scene as I found it on that particular day.  My success is when you, the viewer, can feel the same emotion I felt in that moment when setting up my easel.

Travels also take me to the southwest where you will  find recent work from my last visit.

Working in oil, acrylic and pastel, I choose the best medium for each work.  Enjoy the pages that follow and learn more about my journey on the page for Painter and find gallery representation. The paintings on the site are for sale and framed.  I also welcome creating a special painting for you in landscape or still life.
