I am an award winning pastel painter from seacoast Maine who treasures her memories of this inspiring landscape.  I make paintings for people who appreciate the beauty of everyday life in rural New England.  Through the changing seasons, I paint spring gardens, cold winters, lake summers, stone walls and fall leaves.  Pastel painting allows me to work with vibrant, accurate color in an expressive manner that I hope conveys the pleasure I receive in witnessing all of these.  

I admire the work of the American Impressionists who were active along our seacoast.  And I hope to emulate the tradition of fine, independent craftsmanship embedded in New England culture.  This tradition proves that practicality and creativity go hand in hand with idealism, friendship, individuality, and a good sense of humor.
