ABOUT
A Little About Me
I paint the things that catch my eye – birds, old houses, flowers familiar places and the quiet, everyday moments that feel like a story waiting to be told.
AN ARTIST’S LIFE
HOME, NATURE AND A SKETCHBOOK
I’m a painter, illustrator and lifelong collector of inspiration. My work is rooted in the landscapes, wildlife and small-town places of Western New York and the quiet moments at home in the garden, studio and beyond. I’m drawn to old houses, weathered objects, seasonal traditions and the natural world that surrounds me.
My sketchbooks are always close by – filled with ideas, observations and the beginnings of paintings. Many of my finished works grow from these pages, along with a deep love of storytelling through art.
WHAT INSPIRES ME
From birds in the hedgerows to flowers in the garden, from old buildings to imagined characters, my inspiration is found in the everyday beauty and quiet magic all around me.
FROM PAINTING TO PAPER
The Sketchbook
My sketchbook is where ideas take root. It’s a place for notes, small studies, pressed flowers, color palettes and the beginnings of future paintings. I love sharing this part of the creative process – the imperfect pages the wandering ideas and the stories that unfold along the way.
