I am a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA Illustration). My art career has spanned a variety of creative positions in the fields of visual merchandising and graphic design. Over the years, I rarely made time to paint.   Occasionally, I would paint a landscape or create a greeting card for the holidays, but for the most part my art supplies collected a lot dust. Four years ago, we brought home our first dog.   Lucy is a loveable yet headstrong yellow Labrador Retriever.  With the addition of our new 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!

I now often paint Lucy and the newest member of our family Cricket.  Cricket is a devilish Cairn Terrier that keeps big sister Lucy, as well the rest of the household, on their toes. In addition to my two favorite pups, I enjoy capturing the expressions and spirit of my client’s pets and children in watercolor.  Please visit my Gallery to see my work.

I live in New Boston, New Hampshire (The Granite State) with my SU Jim and our two dogs Lucy and Cricket.
