These paintings are based on my experience of my husband's family's home in the Berkshire Mountains. I made most of them a few years ago, and am returning to the subject now while reading Remembrance of Things Past which is proving to be great inspiration-- can't believe I haven't read it until now.
News: I just found out that I will have a show of some of these and new paintings inspired by Otis for a month this summer at Sanford Smith Fine Art in Great Barrington, MA, 13 Railroad Street. The opening will be July 24th-- please join us! I will post an invitation as the plans firm up.

After painting so many beach scenes these past few years, I yearned for darkness and the softness of black.

Coming from photography, as I do, I've learned to draw on my own to a large extent, and in different ways depending on where I am, what I have at hand, and what feels right. I've picked up valuable lessons from various painting instructors-- mostly Sharon Sprung and Lorraine Shemesh at National Academy of Design School of Fine Arts in New York. I just completed a two-week drawing intensive with Graham Nickson at The New York Studio School. It was great-- 12 hour days, drew big, learned a lot. Now I am continuing my drawing studies at the NYSS with John Lees and Ron Milewicz. Here's a VIDEO I made of a week's worth of drawings of an apple.

Exhibited at the Hoorn-Ashby Gallery, Nantucket Island, August 10-17 2007 and Summer 2008.
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.
