Having never lost my love of finger painting, I rub, scratch and scribe into layers of acrylic paint on paper. Within my work are hidden images, hints that we know both more and less than we think we do.

ABOUT MEImbedded in my sensibility is a decade of deciphering my world while living on a boat. My eyes, my instincts, even my beliefs of where I thought I’d been or was going were often overruled by instruments. This layering of past and present, instinct and reality with its associated unease and possibility is what my work explores. What I do might well be called searchings rather than paintings. Unchecked by instruments, their beginnings hold little idea of their endings, even if when I begin I think they do.
Before we sailed, I was a senior graphic designer and eventually co-owner of a Boston-based advertising agency. Trained at the Corcoran School of Art and the University of Maine, Orono where I received my degree, my work has been primarily shown in Maine and Massachusetts. Unwilling to be far from the sea, midcoast Maine and the Caribbean island of Bonaire are where I now call home. |
