As an artist, I find myself deeply inspired by the origins of our planet. The very thought of Earth emerging from such a chaotic and beautiful process fills me with awe and wonder. It is this sense of wonder that I strive to convey through my art, capturing the essence of that ancient process, and reflecting the textures, colors, and forms that echo Earth’s beginnings.

This watercolor “Small Wonder” is one of many miniature watercolors that I have painted when traveling. I will often use these sketches to create larger images. With “Small Wonder” I feel that the small scale represents the scene best of all by bringing the viewer up close and personal.

Where Seraphim Come to Rest

Acrylic on up-cycled canvas

36” x 36”

2023

This painting Where Seraphim Come to Rest was created on a used canvas that I have up-cycled. The textures that were on the canvas became the starting point for my painting. I began by rolling on paint, adding and subtracting color until shape and forms appear and the image came together. My work is based on natural places that I find personally significant and my interpretations of them, whether real or imagined.

Little Broken Tree Cove, Kayaking Lake Wampanoag, Gardner, MA

My artwork whether its watercolor, printmaking, oils or acrylics, are inspired by places I have visited and interacted with. My acrylic painting “Broken Tree Peninsula” is based on a photo I took while kayaking. While seeking shade I came across This little broken tree in the cove. I was impressed by the resilience and strength it showed after losing the larger more dominate trunk. With the use of acrylics and an up-cycled canvas with already beautiful underlying textures and colors, I hope to show that feeling of strength to the viewer by presenting the subject as a dominating force.
