My work aims to celebrate simplicity, harmony & beauty expressed through the depiction of place… Oceans, rivers & mountains, coastal towns sprinkled with dwellings: elements of wind and light… these “players” are the good company that I keep in my daily art practice…<3 18 Harvard Lane, Hastings-on-Hudson
My current work is as witness to the abuse of our planet. Upcycling and recycling are the muse and source of ideas and materials. I explore a wide range of media and techniques, acquired from studies at NYU, Columbia, Pratt, and world travel, including an Artist Residency at Foundation Valparaiso in Almira, Spain and exhibiting in Saki City Museum, Japan
Through layers of paint and pastel I consider color, structure, and texture to create contemplative moments observing the delicate relationship between humankind and the natural world. My subjects are engaged in their surroundings through acts such as swimming, climbing, studying, and walking. They may appear obscured, framed, or dwarfed by the elements, reinforcing how they are part of their environment

Moose, cottontail, painted dog, deer, stand alone inside the margins- the otherwise empty space of the frame. Each arresting image of the individual connects with that same lonely part of me. There exists nothing else in the art to distract the viewer from the life that it holds and the vulnerability of all lives as nature becomes a specter

I was born and raised in Wales and much of my work is influenced by my childhood. I use old family photographs as inspiration along with anything that evokes a sense of nostalgia: antiques, historical buildings or settings, vintage ephemera. I work with watercolor and acrylic and also create paintings digitally.
My work mainly consists of photographic objects that have been extracted from their original work and placed into a new setting…the objective is to create a surrealistic images with odd inhabitants and strange objects within the boundaries of a photograph

I use an iPad, to quickly record ideas. Then, I will either complete the work entirely on the iPad, or use more traditional materials such as watercolor paper and paint. My humor is inspired by animals and by human nature, and my paintings are inspired by vistas such as the light in the morning on the Hudson Palisades
