  I am a lifelong resident of Maine and currently live in historic Hallowell. I spend my free time enjoying the outdoors, and wandering the back roads and woods of rural Maine. I love camping, hiking, kayaking, watching nature, and taking photos.  I enjoy painting, especially watercolors, and have painted since I was 5.

 

   I enjoy history and painting historical scenes. Hallowell continues to provide me with an endless supply of unique and nostalgic subjects. Another of my favorite places is the Portland area. Many of my recent paintings reflect Casco Bay and Portland waterfront scenes. Summer in Maine is all about the beach and I make it a point to visit as many as possible every year. Some of my recent wanderings resulted in paintings from Popham, Yarmouth, Falmouth, Monhegan, and others.

 

   I am a very creative person and feel a strong need to produce something beautiful every day. If I am not painting, I may be using other mixed medias, such as pencils, charcols, pastels, and inks. I also, on occasion, feel compelled to do larger projects now and then. I am currently working on a an upcycled glass water fountain in honor of Halloween, one of my favorite holidays.

 

  I have had a lifelong love affair with flowers and spent the last 20 years as a florist specializing in Wedding design. Working with such beauty every day both filled my need to create and inspired my creative process. I no longer work as a florist, but still work with a lot of natural materials. Every fall, I create wall decor such as natural wreaths, swags, driftwood sculptures and other unique pieces. 

 

  I hope I have compelled you to check out my blogs showcasing some of my artwork and other interests. I am soon to be selling limited giclee prints of some of my paintings in some local shops. Look for coming blogs for more info.
