The Art of Expression

Art that doesn’t take itself too seriously—except when it does.

I create acrylic landscape paintings inspired by the Finger Lakes of New York—home to expansive skies, tranquil roads, unpredictable weather, and more breathtaking views than one artist can reasonably capture.

When we moved to Geneva, we never imagined we would discover such unstoppable beauty.

It can be overwhelming.

I paint to keep it in perspective.

And gratitude. Yeah, that, too.

Light is the real subject of my work—the kind that organizes a composition, nudges color into place, and makes an ordinary landscape suddenly worth pulling over for. I’m endlessly chasing how it moves, shifts, and disappears just when things were getting good.

Just as important is how light feels. Calm, charged, hopeful, or fleeting—sometimes all at once. I paint to slow those moments down and hold onto them a little longer, making work that invites you to linger, breathe, and maybe remember why you fell in love with a place
in the first place.

I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth, and then I can fly free.

Some of the places folks have asked me to recreate:
Montana, UP of Michigan, a lake in PA, and Maine

I am currently accepting commissions.

If you want to capture the memory of a favorite pet or place, we can work together to bring that to life. You tell me what you want, and I'll load up my palette. Cody had the cutest little pink tongue, Angel had the softest ears, and Tigger loved to cuddle.

If your loved one had a favorite lake they loved to hike or if your vacation was ideal for photographs, I will recreate those scenes so you don't have to spend a day without them.

If a home visit (local to the Finger Lakes, of course) would help you figure out what you want, just contact me, or better yet, come over for coffee.
