This is a blog to share my love of painting and drawing. Daily practice isn't always possible, but it remains the best way to make consistent progress.

Wildflowers - 12" x 15" Pastel
Spent a few hours finishing this painting, trying not to overwork it and to maintain the freshness that it had the other day. I am happy with it.
Hi! If you're interested in any of my paintings, or a commission, email me. I love to paint portraits of people and animals, and other subjects with special meaning.

I spent hours drawing with my artist dad when I was a kid. Decades later, I’m still happiest in front of an easel.
I experiment and explore various media, and subjects vary. I draw and paint from life – people on location, models in the studio, ‘en plein air’ in until winter comes.
Each day in the Litchfield Hills brings new ideas: a blue-violet snow shadow, rocks on the shoreline; a barn lit by afternoon light; an interesting gesture …
Recently, printmaking has added a new dimension to my art practice. I love the happy accidents that occur with each printed monotype.
I’ve been fortunate to study with many talented artists, who have helped to advance my skills, including Melanie Reim, Dean Fisher, Patti Mollica and Anthony Kirk.
Art is a never-ending journey. My goal is to say more with less, with marks and brushstrokes that are bold, loose and confident. Onward!
I live in Goshen, CT with my husband, and a rescue dog named Cassie. Thanks for visiting!
