I paint illuminated oils of the local and regional swamps, dunes, critters, people, beaches and boats. I live on a barrier island. I look forward to and am thankful for being able to paint everyday Some of my greatest inspirations come from long bay walks. My studio overlooks Dog Island Sound on the north and the island's interior pine forest on the south. I enjoy the tranquility of the island and the display of nature. The ever-chaining water, wind and sand constantly amaze me. It's like living on a boat, the weather directly influences my work.
