"In 2005, a weekend trip to Massachusetts changed everything as I immediately fell in love with the untouched and majestic charm of Cape Ann. I was inspired by the scenic coastlines, rustic buildings, and nature’s beauty. I am currently rediscovering what I was taught as a child, along with the unique and translucent qualities watercolor allows. I’m passionate about using the light, colors, shapes, shadows and textures in my recent work. I currently reside in Gloucester, Massachusetts. There, I have been blessed with the good fortune of finding time to return to my personal love of painting."
