ART WITH AGED PAGES
Paper ephemera gathered from discarded vintage books enhances the story being told within each piece.
Ephemera is used throughout my painting process, lending a nostalgic nod to the past and adding to the story of a piece. These aged pages are often covered in layers of paint and remain only partially, if at all, visible.

ABOUT
During the mid 1980's I attended photography school in Rhode Island and years later became self-taught in the digital photography format. While traveling throughout rural areas of the country I photographed landscapes and barns while selling prints online. I also trained with accomplished encaustic artists to learn the art of painting with molten wax. Most recently, I began working with acrylics, a medium that allows me more freedom to experiment with my artistic voice while fulfilling my desire to create one of a kind original pieces.
My subject matter is and has always been primarily landscapes. I spend a lot of time in the outdoors and this is what fuels the inspiration for my work.
I paint intuitively, in a semi-abstract style. This relaxed method of painting produces a calm and at ease feeling that mirrors my response when I spend time in nature. My wish is to evoke a similar emotion in those who view my work.
