Intrigued by the way sun-drenched light affects the colors of an object, I constantly look for ways to incorporate this aspect into my paintings. Starting my process begins with studies that capture the light, followed by an underpainting which also achieves this. I proceed by transforming realism into creativity in a contemporary-impressionistic style. Having grown up in South Florida, island life has greatly influenced my paintings, with brightly painted buildings, colorful landscapes and turquoise waters.
I’m thrilled to be represented by Camden Falls Gallery where I have the opportunity to present my use of colorful tropical light into the more neutral landscapes of Maine. Whether the subject matter is a timeworn cottage, a coastal scene or a welcoming garden, depicting joy through my paintings is of great importance, as I long to invite the viewer in to imagine being there.
