Thank you for visiting my website and gallery. I am a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. I am an artist specializing and working primarily in water mediums.
In recent years, my schedule has afforded me the time to pursue my interest in painting. My subject matter reflects my love of animals, especially for dogs.
Five years ago, we brought home our first dog. Lucy is a loveable yet headstrong yellow Labrador Retriever. With the addition of our four-legged friend, I gained a renewed interest in getting out my paper, brushes and watercolors.
Lucy’s expressions, her antics, the way her coat changed color in different light…I wanted to capture it all on paper. I had a subject that inspired me! My work has since expanded to other subjects, but Lucy is still the driving inspiration behind all of my artwork.
In addition to my own original works, I enjoy capturing the spirit and expressions of my client’s much loved best friends...their pets.
What's New!
A new look for my website and revamped gallery is coming soon!
In the meantime,
no...it isn't your connection.
Recently, my current gallery has not been loading all images properly .
Thank you for your patience while we address the technical difficulties.

Labrador Life Line's Labor of Love Auction September 2007
Two original framed paintings of Labrador Retrievers were donated to the Labrador Life Line Labor of Love Auction in early September.
I participated and donated artwork for the first time in the Spring 2007 LLL Labrador Life Line Auction. My paintings were quite successful in raising funds for the cause, so I was excited to participate once again.
