I  have made a career in New Hampshire’s arts and nonprofit fields since graduating from Plymouth State College as an Art Education/Art History major, and have been an active member of the North Country community for over 4 decades. I retired after 21 years from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and live in the Mount Washington Valley of NH.

 

For a decade after college, I was a self-employed fiber artist whose quilted landscape wall hangings sold in galleries and juried shows, and were commissioned by collectors throughout New England and beyond. Following that, I  worked professionally in three North Country non-profits while creating art in my free time and raising a family.  

 

I began painting intensively in 2006, self-taught, but inspired by artists such as the Canadian Group of Seven, Emily Carr, and Maine artists Edward Hopper and Fairfield Porter, and many contemporary painters. I paint outdoors on locations in NH’s Lakes and White Mountains and off the coast of Maine, as well as in my studio from my own photos, imagination, and memory. 

 

My work has been exhibited in a number of group and solo shows and is included in many private and corporate collections.  My paintings can be found at WREN’s Local Works Gallery   in Bethlehem NH, at the BayView Artisan Gallery in Meredith NH, and at Trove in Searsport ME.
