My journey into art began at the New England School of Art in Boston, where I explored commercial, fashion, and interior design. I later earned a BFA in Fine Arts and a BA in Art Education from Notre Dame College. Over 25 years, I’ve taught art—from elementary classrooms to the Art Center at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH, where I now live and create.
For me, art always begins with a spark—a sudden flash of inspiration that stirs inside and demands to be captured. That initial idea grows restless, often caught first in a photograph or quick sketch, as my fingers tingle with anticipation to bring it to life.
Creating a painting is an all-consuming dance between flow and challenge. Sometimes the work pours out effortlessly; other times, I find myself “chasing the painting,” stepping away to return with fresh eyes and renewed clarity. The time each piece takes—whether moments or years—tells its own story. Through this process, I’ve come to understand that creation requires patience and presence.
My art reflects the world I live in—my family, nature, and the quiet moments in between. It’s a joyful exploration of light, color, and emotion that invites others to pause and feel.
