Artist’s Statement
I am a self-taught artist and have participated in many exhibits and solo shows, including Broadmoor (Audubon) in Natick and Hawthorne Suites in Franklin, MA. I have won several awards, both in photography and pen and ink. I have also been accepted into several juried shows, including Marblehead and Southboro, MA.
My love of nature’s forms and shapes inspires me to photograph and draw them in pen and ink. The contrast between black and white intrigues me. Occasionally, however, there is a subject that says, “color me.” For these, I will use colored pencil or watercolor.
The sources of many of my subjects are the canyons of the southwest and Yellowstone National Park. Recently I have also been doing drawings of historic Hopedale, MA.
