Introduction
I am an oil painter working between Provincetown and New York. My work often juxtaposes organic elements with the built environment, a focus emerging from my interest in unexpected intersections of the human-made with forces of sunlight, plants and animals, weather, and oceans. I am interested in unexpected beauties, of dead salmon on a tray in an industrial kitchen, or sunlight reflecting on an aluminum street vendor's cart, or flowers casting a shadow on a fence or road. I view my paintings as open missives, sharing what I have witnessed and find delightful or remarkable in some way.
I started painting in earnest in 2016 and studied in continuing education classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts from 2016-2019. I participated in the 2017-2018 Land Arts of the American West program at Texas Tech University, a transdisciplinary field program focusing on the intersection of human construction and the evolving nature of our planet. In 2020 I moved to Provincetown to further pursue painting and was a studio artist in residence at the
Provincetown Commons from 2021-2024.
