Taking a painting class as a kid was the first time I learned that the shortest distance to a new friend is the easel next to me.
Living in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and now my home town of Birmingham - I've studied with several teachers who have left indelible marks on my style and on my heart.
My subjects tend to be the people, places and moments I wish to return to. I refer to my works as "souvenirs." Trying to capture light, shadow, shape, the form of an interior, a landscape, or even a face is the pull. When I'm painting, I don't notice the passage of time. No distractions, no tech, just paint, brush and singular focus.
I hope you enjoy these examples of my work. Get in touch if you'd like me to capture a cherished memory of yours.
