Artist Statement/Bio
I paint solely in soft pastel with a focus on architecture in the landscape. I am from New England and love the domestic architecture there. I currently reside near Washington, DC and have been painting scenes from the canal and back alleys. My paintings are about color and form. I consider myself to be a "color harmonist" and prefer limited palettes.
I have a BFA from Marietta College (Ohio) and have studied pastel with many of the leading painters in the U.S. I have been teaching since 2004 and wrote a book, Finding Your Style in Pastel. My paintings has won many awards, the most recent being "best landscape". I am a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and a Master Circle member of the International Association of Pastel Societies.
