Barns are characters in the play of the landscape. They narrate the hardworking stories of many lifetimes.

The first sight of the lake coming up from the west side, I paint this scene again and again ! I love it

I love hiking in the woods with my dogs and boys. The paths we create at my Dads farm are a constant source of inspiration.  

Painting by the lake with the wind and bitter cold poses many challenges.  Frozen paint handles differently and forces you to make very quick decisions. I love the challenge.

I use the universal symbol of a concentric circle combined with the color harmonies of my pleinair work to create my own version of landscape painting. 

I enjoy traveling around the world, discovering the different colors and cultures. I always travel with my sketchbook and paints, there is never enough time.

Painting is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on a canvas is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Contact me to visit my studio
