Artist Statement

I work primarily in pastel, a pure permanent pigment with a wonderful range of vibrant, unadulterated colors.  Growing up along the beaches of Long Island, New York, and now living on a lake in Virginia, I paint landscapes that are reminiscent of my youth, as well as the beautiful lakes and farms of Southwest Virginia.  I hope my artwork invokes feelings of peace and joy.
