These paintings, inspired by my husband's family's home in Otis, MA were shown at the Hoorn-Ashby Gallery at 766 Madison Avenue, New York City, November 26, 2007 - January 15, 2008.
More paintings inspired by Nantucket, shown at the Hoorn-Ashby Gallery ongoing.
After painting the Black series of paintings, I wanted to look at and deal with White. I also like the idea of drawings as paintings-- paintings which at first read as drawings. I think there are more of these to come.
Coming from photography, as I do, and not from a traditional art school, I've learned to draw on my own and in different ways depending on where I am, what I have at hand, and what feels right.
This is the length of film I used to make my "Mom Swimming" paintings. I admire my father's eye immensely and draw inspiration from what both he and my mother see.

Sand and salt, dirt roads, dunes, and family. These paintings are based on my family's photographs from our summers at Wauwinet from the 1960's-80's.
Oil paintings completed in 2002-2004. Most were exhibited at the Atlantic Gallery, a co-op gallery which was then on Wooster Street in SoHo, New York City. I'm no longer a member of the co-op but I recommend its artists work.
