W a t e r c o l o r s


My work has been exhibited in numerous solo shows in the Boston and South Shore area, and every year I exhibit paintings in a variety of juried and group shows.  The Boston Bar Association and Hill House of Beacon Hill have chosen to publish work as cover art for their publications; Rosie’s Place (Boston) selected two pieces for holiday cards.  My watercolors hang in private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe (including those of Keith Lockhart and the office of the mayor of Boston).

My specialty is house portraits:  in these popular commissioned architecture paintings, I try to capture the distinctive character of a home, working with the owner (or gift giver) to include important details of the building and its surroundings.

Cohasset, MA

I have been painting in watercolor for about thirty years.  Local workshops include study with William Ternes, Carl Schmalz, and Frank Webb, and with Tony van Hasselt and Betty Lou Schlemm on the Maine coast.

I am a juried Gallery Artist of the South Shore Art Center and the Cambridge Art Association and an Associate Member of the New England Watercolor Society, having had paintings accepted into a North American Open exhibition as well as a regional show.
