"The inspiration of ideas and the beauty of forms leads to creating compelling visual imagery."

My paintings reflect the simplicity of form and richness of color that I see in nature's landscapes and my interest in folk art and craft. Primarily working in oil and acrylic, I enjoy interpreting the landscape. Raised in New England, I attended college in Oregon and Colorado and also lived in New Mexico with works reflective of the cultures and landscapes from these travels. I presently live and paint in Cape Ann, Massachusetts.

ANIMATION

I enjoy planning and creating animations and the environments within them. There is a playfulness to seeing inanimate objects come alive and carry movement in a created 3D world. My experience includes modeling, texturing, animating, lighting and rendering.

DESIGN

My experience includes dual talent as a Design Project Manager directing projects through all developmental stages from initial concept to final product and as a Designer creating engaging visual design for print including children's educational books, trade books, and business materials. As a creative thinker with strong conceptual skills, I enjoy bringing new ideas to any project to produce successful visual solutions that communicate ideas with stunning clarity.
