Artist's Statement

I’ve been studying and making art since I was a high school student, and my interests have evolved and grown over time. I started out favoring watercolor, which I practiced off and on for several years. In the past couple of years, I have turned to pen and ink drawing, primarily focusing on architectural lines and patterns. And to round out my interests, I also recently took on oil and acrylic painting. I’ve experimented on my own and with some professional instruction. Some of my work is from imagination, and some is based on photos I’ve taken. I lean toward landscapes with big skies and distant horizon lines. I’m drawn to the textures one can create with oil, but I also like the quick nature of watercolors. And my pen and ink drawings often become a meditation and exercise in working slowly.

I live and work in Somerville, Massachusetts, and I have roots in Idaho and Montana.
