Artist Statement: My passion is to capture the beauty of the four seasons in Maine, New England and frankly everywhere. For me, it doesn’t get any better than being outdoors and really connecting with the beauty around me: the lakes, hiking and ski trails, mountains, rivers, fields, wildflowers, gardens, and charming old buildings. The experience of being present and involved with the stillness of nature while painting on location informs and inspires me. Vivid colors, textures, shapes and space as well as reflections, lighting, and shadows unique to the time of day and to each season speak to me. A persistent desire to journey with one medium or another has given rise to a variety of intimate studies and series.
Art mediums: oil, pastel, watercolor, charcoal. Education highlights: I have spent over fifty years pursuing art, enjoying numerous Art courses, mostly plein air, at the University of Maine at Farmington, where I worked for over twenty-five years. In addition, I have taken a variety of classes & workshops, summer programs, and been involved with statewide juried art shows, regional galleries, artist retreats and plein air painting. I am a member of the Up-Country Artist Association. Formal Education: B.S. in Elementary & Art Education, and M.ED. / Counseling. Career: Personal and Career Counselor, Licensed Clinical Counselor (LCPC), and Director of Service-Learning.
I am thankful to be living in this rich artistic community of Western-Central and Northern Maine, the High Peaks Area.
