Thumbnail of Featured Art: Goldfinch (detail), 2025, oil on canvas, 52 x 40 inches

Artist Statement: I have painted flowers and birds for thirty-five years. In terms of my process and execution, I consider myself rather blunt. Mostly, I hope to create images that bridge subject and material, that express something beyond what can be described in words. I am inspired by the decorative arts, by gardening and backyard birding, by the Maine landscape and Emily Dickinson, by Marsden Hartley and Albert York. I am interested in a kind of art that is bound to nature and to my life as an artist. I believe in beauty, in the realm between the real and the folkloric, in the poetic space between what I see and what I imagine.
