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.
Five 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!
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.

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