Check out the new additions page!  I've recently updated it with several new paintings.  The images are from trips to Arundel and Ogunquit, Maine, the Grand Canyon area,  Jackson Wyoming, and locally the Elizabeth Park Rose garden at peak flowering.  And I've included two paintings to celebrate my son's upcoming wedding in Vermont, which have been included on the invitation and in the event signage.  See the "Gray Barn" and "Carter's Flowers".

Shown below is "Arundel Farm Hydrangeas"  which showcases the juxtaposition of the light and shadow on the clapboards and the organic natural shapes of the hydrangea flowers.  This painting won awards in the recent Arts of Tolland juried show and also in the recent Green Mountain Watercolor Exhibition.

June is a busy month with lots of watercolor shows happening.  I'm grateful to have been accepted into several prestigious shows recently.  Please come and see!

Hello friends and followers,  I have updated the website to include new and recent paintings.  It was way overdue and now I can happily say there's some wonderful new images.  Check it out in New additions, Landscape and Waterscapes, floral and nature galleries.

Happy Holidays to my friends, customers, and artists everywhere!  I wish you all a 'beary' healthy, happy New Year!  2022 has been a positive step towards reconnecting with everyone and being able to unmask in the right situations- a gift in itself.  I am still painting and making prints for people, as well as teaching watercolor classes twice a week.  I love it all!  

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to my friends, customers and artists everywhere.  This year has had it's challenges and I think we are all looking forward to 2021 with the hope that Covid and all of it's impact will be alleviated.  There is one aspect of 2020 that I hope will remain.  People have reconnected with their humanity, their kindness, their generosity, and their creativity.  While we were all missing 'normalcy' whatever that is for each person,  we were also living in new ways, spending time differently and encouraging each other.    Think of all the positive actions people have been doing for themselves, each other and their communities.  What a blessing that is, and I pray that we can all carry that forward into our new 'normal'.  I wish you all peace and joy in the coming year!

As 2017 draws to a close, I want to express my thanks to my customers, family and friends for their ongoing support and appreciation of all things art,  painting and printing.  It has been a wonderful year and I wish everyone much peace and joy in 2018.
