Flowering Quince and Blue Painting

I am a Vermont artist specializing in contemporary portraiture, still life, and landscape. Working in the alla prima tradition in oil and acrylic gouache, I paint largely from life, seeking to capture a sense of immediacy, freshness, and intimacy in my paintings. My work was featured in the exhibition "Body of Work: New Perspectives on Figure Painting" at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. as part of the museum's biennial exhibition series Women to Watch. My paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums on the East and West Coast as well as Canada and are held in private collections throughout the U.S.
