Paintings

Infinity within reach

Let your gaze wander. Find hidden spaces.

Working in oil and cold wax, I build each painting in layers, from the Dordogne Valley and New England, from still lifes and quiet figures.

Each one begins with a recurring thought, a moment worth harvesting, and waits for you to slow down long enough to find it.

You can see them in my SoWa studio in Boston, and at Three Stones Gallery in Concord, The Woodstock Gallery in Vermont and The Hyde Gallery in London.

Commissions

Art that anchors your home

A commissioned painting begins with a conversation: the wall it will live on, the colors you already love, a place or a memory you want to keep close. From there I paint in oil and cold wax, layer by layer, until it becomes a quiet anchor in the room.

My creative process

Layer by layer

A painting starts with the lines of a land I know. Then come the layers: oil and cold wax laid on, scraped back, turned, laid on again, following the happy accidents. Somewhere in those layers, the painting starts to answer back.
