About me and my work

I came to love oil painting after exploring a variety of mediums and interests over the years including printmaking, drawing and graphic design.

As a writer and editor by profession, I appreciate the special ability of images – and especially paintings – to capture a mood, a story and a sense of place beyond words. I paint primarily from my own photographs.

Raised partly in Texas and later, New Jersey, I am most interested in the familiar, everyday landscapes that make a place feel like home.
