About the Artist

“I have been painting in watercolor for many years, in oils for the last ten. Local workshops include study with Ros Farbush, Mary Lizotte, Virginia Avery, William Ternes, and Frank Webb, and with Tony van Hasselt, Skip Lawrence, and Betty Lou Schlemm on the Maine coast.  My work in oils has been fueled by study with Peter Schroth, George Nick, Susan Charles, Jon Imber, and Margaret McWethy.

I am a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society, an Artist Member of the Copley Society of Art, Boston, and a juried Gallery Artist of the South Shore Art Center and the Cambridge Art Association.

My work has been exhibited in numerous solo shows in the Boston and South Shore area, and every year I exhibit paintings in a variety of juried and group shows. I have been featured in South Shore Living magazine, the Boston Globe, and the Patriot Ledger; the Boston Bar Association and Hill House of Beacon Hill have chosen to publish work as cover art for their publications; Rosie’s Place (Boston) selected two pieces for holiday cards.  My paintings hang in private collections throughout Europe and the U.S. (including those of Steve Wynn, Keith Lockhart, and the office of the mayor of Boston). Paintings have been chosen for the Langham Hotel, Boston and the new JetBlue lounge at Logan Airport.

My specialty is house portraits.  In these popular commissioned architecture paintings, I try to capture the distinctive character of a home, working with the owner (or gift giver) to include important details of the building and its surroundings.”
