Good to hear from you. I confess I don't come on Blue Sky much (hard to break that Insta habit) — but I'm glad you found me!

August — the days are getting shorter and it feels like summer is coming to an end (or, as my son says, “Christmas is coming!”). I just have to remind myself that there are still plenty of beach days left to enjoy.

Last week we took a road trip from MA to PA (doing college tours with my youngest). Blue skies, green fields… the best of summer.

I have been working on this commission for a couple of months now, and delivered it earlier this week to the loveliest family! I appreciate the trust they put in me, because they just gave me the general colors and then let me run with it.

Thank you! 🙏

I’m in the middle of a big commission, but decided I needed a day to just play around and have fun.

I’m honored to be included in this year’s New England Collective Exhibition “Blueprint of Imagination” at Galatea Fine Art. I’m looking forward to seeing "Binary Palette 1000" alongside the work of many talented artists at the opening reception this Friday, Feb 7, 5-8pm. I hope to see you there!

I’m am so delighted to have my painting “Clark’s Island XVII” included in Duxbury Art Association’s 2025 Winter Juried Show, and positively thrilled that it received an Honorable Mention in the Alternative Materials category!
