I live in Vermont's rugged Northeast Kingdom and have roamed the fields and woods since my childhood in Vermont. I create my paintings from imagination, memory, and experience.

I think of painting as a path rather than a practice, one which leads me to ponder the infinite possibilities of pigment, binder, and surface with an eye for discovery. I intend to make paintings that are hopeful, quiet, and beautiful. I want these earthworks to create a refuge, a place of solace for the human soul in our fragile and beautiful world.

Inventing a way to paint the natural world is a primary challenge facing landscape artists today. Recently, I've moved from oil to acrylic paint, and instead of brushes, I'm using traditional women's tools like kitchen sponges, rags, and spreaders to wash, rub, and scrub my canvases into a world that I recognize. This change has led to greater expression.

Paintings awaken what is lost in the frantic digital world making a space that becomes a place for contemplation and inspires us to think differently and create a new way forward.
