Statement
I paint habitats, real and imagined, formed organically and spontaneously on paper. My recent work captures the line of the horizon, the shape of the land, and the color of the atmosphere in my home environment, New England. For several years, I have been exploring the idea of personal identification with a geographic environment, how we adopt the features and atmosphere of a locale as part of our identity.
