"I have had a lifelong pursuit of creativity. For 25 years, I worked as a Graphic Designer and Art Director in Boston, collaborating with diverse clients in print, video, and web design.
Five years ago, I relocated to Coastal Maine, where the stunning vistas and unique light inspired me to paint. My background in graphic design enhances my ability to deconstruct forms and views, bringing a unique perspective to my art. The paintings do not set out to be precise representations but are expressions of the changing rhythm and color of landscapes.
I work with various mediums, including pan pastels, oils, acrylics, and, most notably, encaustic art. Under the guidance of accomplished instructors, I've honed my skills with wax, using a propane torch to create tactile layers infused with pan pastels, charcoal, graphite, oil sticks, fused photos, and wax pencils. The change from using paintbrushes
to ‘‘fire” is exhilarating."
