Artist Statement
I have been an artist since childhood. Observing the plants and animals around me inspired me to study and paint this beautiful environment. Growing up, I was trained as a biologist, with a love for natural biology, plants, and animals. Born in Massachusetts, I lived in a semi-rural setting, which led me to appreciate the natural world around me. Moving to Maine, Upstate New York, and finally to Florida, I noticed that the plants and animals changed. Each place had a special signature. My technique for capturing these scenes is eco-friendly acrylic. My current work focuses on natural Florida, but I also travel to other states and enjoy many different landscapes. My style is expressive realism, hoping to show a place’s special features. I am inspired by the everyday outdoors.
