My Heart Is Here
I am a landscape painter. I live and paint in Truro, MA.
I first came to the outer Cape when I was three. I moved here in 2016 to paint the landscapes I love.
My work focuses largely on marshes and houses. I often use photographs as a starting point, a reference. From there I play with the image. I move things around. I add or alter elements in the picture. In the end the painting depicts a place that falls in the realm between reality and imagination.
I’m captivated by all the changes that take place in the marshes during the cycle of the tide. The relationships between the water, the light and the land are the inspiration for many of my paintings.
I paint houses as a means of capturing a moment whether it’s loneliness, melancholy, or the quiet before and after a storm. I also use houses as a vehicle for the old souls that one can often sense in quieter moments here in Truro.
I’m a lucky person. I love what I do in the place that I love. My heart is here.
