Seascapes and Landscapes

My first trips to Scotland and Ireland awakened my ancestral memories which continue to inspire my work. Their rugged coastlines, mystical bogs, and ever changing seas are reflected in my brushstrokes and multilayered approach to each piece.

As I paint, I imagine the ancient ships that sailed the seas, and those that walked the beaches and bright green fields of these two countries.  I feel the crisp air, the hearty soil, and the contrast of the crashing beaches, yet the calm beauty of the ocean.
