I'm a lifelong
artist who began to explore my artistic abilities at
Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio, where I grew up.
While I studied for only one year at The Cleveland
Institute of Art, my creativity as an artist has continued
to grow. A passionate painter, I work primarily in oils,
but also enjoy working in watercolors. My inspiration for
painting comes from the New England landscape and the Lake
Champlain region of Vermont, where I spent my childhood
summers. The dramatic changing of seasons along the Maine
coast and the Lake Champlain valley capture my eye &
draw me to my easel, where I generally complete a painting
in one sitting. My work depicts scenes from my favorite
places like North Hero, Mount Mansfield, Lake Champlain, as
well as Maine's scenic coastline.
I moved to Portland, Maine from North Hero, Vermont in
February of 2004 to dedicate more time to my artwork and to
collaborate with my artist sister, Elizabeth. I now reside
in South Portland, Maine with his wife Kimberly and
daughter Avery.
