ABOUT

I live and work in coastal Rhode Island, where humans have been long on the landscape and have changed it in profound ways. I'm interested in the ways in which we've adapted to this place and changed it to suit our needs -- and I'm interested in the persistence of natural systems despite our efforts to dominate and exploit them. I love wilderness and cities and fishing ports; I love people and I love places where there are no people. I paint and sketch them all. Whenever possible I paint or sketch from life to record my immediate impression of a place in time, without the filter of photography.
