Artist’s Statement

I create art as a way of connecting—with the natural world, with memory, with possibility and hope, and with the unseen connections that continue across time. I am drawn to growing, evolving, life-giving forms and to the changing landscapes of Vermont. I work in both landscapes and abstracts, allowing each to express something different that I cannot always put into words.

Creating has helped me find peace in pieces, especially through times of loss and change. My work often leads me back to memories, to the people I have loved, and to a sense of connection with those who have gone before me—including my ancestors and my son.

I feel grateful for the artistic inspiration and interplay within my family: my sister, my mother, my father, and my grandparents. We each found our own ways to see the world, tell our stories, and express what we felt.

I hope my art carries that connection forward—a legacy of love, creativity, and curiosity for my descendants, my friends, fellow artists, and those who collect and cherish my work.
