    Artist Statement

    I am pleased to have another opportunity to feature my work at the Helen Bumpus Gallery as unfortunate timing to plan to open a show in March 2020 precluded the live exhibit from opening. Hopefully, we are emerging from this era with enhanced appreciation of the ability to see art in person and connect with each other. 

    Whether home on Cape Cod or in my varied travels, my intent is to translate the essence of place into my artwork. An undulating sand dune, the ebb and flow of the tides, the geometry of a marsh, or the delicate fronds of palm trees swaying in the wind all make for fascinating interpretations of a visual connection with the landscape or the ability to bring to life objects that capture my gaze in my immediate environment. Soft pastel on sanded papers or textured boards is my preferred medium as I enjoy the immediacy and vibrancy of the effects I am able to achieve. I strive to show a range of effects and emotions through my art.

    My art is inspired by the beauty and power of the landscape and creative energy of fellow artists, which are typically plentiful all around me as a washashore on Cape Cod and sorely missed during the past few years of pandemic isolation. I was sustained  by vivid memories of warm winter sojourns as well as the gift of living in such a rich landscape in every season. Inspiration in these turbulent times comes from an undying belief in our will to survive and prevail and to use my art as a means of expression.
