Through my past experience as a book and printmaker I have enjoyed the exploration of process. Today I utilize a variety of materials in my work to express fluidity, density, and the visible effects of light through pigment.
Over the last seven years I have been working predominately in wax or encaustic paint while integrating tar, marble dust, pigment sticks, dry materials, graphite and miscellaneous mediums.
My recent work explores the ritual of layering. I love the sense of the unexpected, the sensation of scent, and the anticipation evoked by moving wax, while also scraping and carving through the wax. Marrying image and medium is what I am most interested in.
I broke up the sections into Animals, Landscapes, Flowers, Patron Saints & Older Works. There are many things that I am interested in drawing and painting, though right now, through this website I thought I would begin to sort in this sorting order.
I have my MFA from the State University of New York at Purchase and my BFA from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford. I am the Executive Director of Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill since 2002. I serve on the board of Campus Provincetown and the Provincetown Cultural Council.
