Discovering art in nature has always been my passion. My ideas are gathered from my love of the New England landscape. I often sketch and paint outside which allows me to be immersed in the “feel” of the place. I try to be mindful of all my senses and incorporate them in my work. Noticing details such as the texture, lines and subtle colors in the environment inspires my creative process. I interpret nature's beauty with pastel, acrylic and watercolor. My favorite medium is watercolor because of the way the paint dances around the wet surface of the paper. The unexpected bursts of color add vibrancy and energy to my art. I hope to continue to capture glimpses of nature through the elements of art and to strengthen my artistic skills.

En Plein Air is a French phrase meaning painting outdoors. Working out in the natural landscape is inspiring. I enjoy adding whimsy to some of my work like adding salt water or beach sand for textures.
