Born in Asheville, North Carolina, I grew up in the hills of West Virginia. I have lived the intervening years in the Alleghenies of Bath County and the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Following a satisfying first career as a school art teacher, I am now into my long-anticipated painting career, depicting the beautiful world around me.
I am blessed to be able to capture, in brush strokes, some of the great beauty of the natural world. Using oils-on-canvas, I carefully craft each scene, each specific place, each season, each time of day. I reach for the drama, the mood, and the details unique to each place I have lived and visited. My intention is that each work will provide a pleasing sense of identity and connection.
The hills and hollows of nature, with their changing seasons, have always been a part of each day for me. These, my paintings, are all of places I have lived or visited. Just as the earlier masters of landscape - Cole, Church, Inness, and others - I enjoy recreating the drama of magical light and familiar details in these scenes. I am continually influenced by these time-honored landscapists, and their abilities to depict the real and mysterious natural world.
