"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In my painting and my writing I try to capture the way the spirit colors and clothes my surroundings and to celebrate the joy that colors the commonplace when it is seen with new awareness.

Biography
I often go to Cape Cod where my partner, Bob Cary, and I have a second home. For me, it is a place for reflection and replenishment. On exhibit here are the waters and marshes, the beaches, flats and clam beds of Cape Cod, and a few images of the Jesey shore and the Maine coastline as well.
Also on display are portraits of flowers--a blossom filling the entire canvas, a segment as might be seen by an insect lighting on a petal, a bouquet that someone has lovingly picked, or others blooming freely in the sunlight as did those in my mother's garden as I was growing up. She loved roses, especially the Peace Rose, and every now and then I find I just have to paint a rose.
More than representations of seascapes or flowers, however, I feel my subject matter is mood translated by light and color. I welcome you to step into my world and see it through my eyes --- through my spirit.
