Artist Bio or Résumé
After a childhood in the Midwest, I moved around, from coast to coast during my 20s and early 30s. I finally settled in Lynn, MA in 2000. I loved living so close to the ocean. During the nomadic period of my life – (Madison to New York to Chicago to New Jersey to Boston to San Francisco to Lynn in the period of 10 years), I took art classes wherever I went. When I finally moved to my current home on the ocean in 2012, I started painting. The last few years I’ve been captured by the scenery outside my front door and have been painting from observation. Through the meditative process of art, I’ve found the patience to be able to sit still long enough to focus on a painting and dedicate myself to a place in order to get to know it well enough to paint it.
