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 two North American Open exhibitions as well as a regional show.
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 paintings hang in private collections throughout Europe and the U.S. (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.

I have been painting in watercolor for about thirty years. Local workshops include study with Ros Farbush, Mary Lizotte, Virginia Avery, William Ternes, , and Frank Webb, and with Tony van Hasselt, Skip Lawrence, and Betty Lou Schlemm on the Maine coast. My work in oils has been fueled by study with Peter Schroth, George Nick, Susan Charles, and Jon Imber.
