There was always something special about my grandmother’s house. From the roses that framed the porch entryway to the pleasing smells of the pantry. I always wanted to pay tribute to her and include some of the wonderful elements and style of her home. My “Memere” was my biggest fan, and she supported my artistic efforts and encouraged me to draw at a very young age. This is a tribute to the remarkable woman she was. I’m so thankful for the years I had her in my life and for the love of the arts she inspired.

Sandwich Salt Marsh

This little watercolor painting of the Sandwich Salt Marsh is part of a series that I did using different media. I adore the colors of the grasses in fall and thus wanted to paint them. From Town beach in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
